Valve Cover Bolts Aluminum VC

I tried Home Depot with no luck, nothing short enough in 1/4-20. I’ll try Ace and Lowes next.
It's not even worth trying Lowe's. Home Depot and Lowes are worthless for any hardware other than standard hex stuff. Do you have a better place in town? Ace may have options. Luckily my local place, "Supply Hardware" has rows and rows of hardware bins. I'd be SOL without that place.
