Even a few years ago, I could go to Autozone and they would have basic
studs even metric, in the back. Now unless it's a part number, not.

And, what is the official name of these rubberized clamp things? The ~30 year
old guy behind the counter thought I was crazy.

Adel clamps.

There is a bolt and nut section in the store. It is small and on little rotating racks typically. You are right about the lack of knowledge the parts monkies have. NAPA is even becoming a losing fight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I've used the parts off the racks before. It sucks, though, because even if I figure I'll just make my own stud by cutting the end off a bolt, they never have full threaded bolts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
