Does McMaster sell BSF nuts/bolts too ? I am afraid that I deal with
LBCs that are probably a little older than yours since that is all my car
has on it. That is why I went with the Harbor Freight bins alone, so I
could fill them with BSF stuff not SAE or Metric. I have not had a problem
with sagging on my bins after I welded up my brackets, I think it is not
the bin that sags, its the flimsy piece of plastic that comes with the bins
as a hanger. I agree about stacking them too, its awful. And dust has not
been a problem for me in my shop so I can't comment on that.
