    I needed a couple backbox bolts and found these at Home Depot for less than a dollar. I find these better than carriage bolts because you can hand tighten/loosen like the original wing bolts.

    Hmm, for a few cents more our home depot has exact match wing screws in the miscellaneous drawer sections. You might want to check for those rather than switching to backbox bolts? http://www.homedepot.com/s/wing%20screws?NCNI-5

    That'sawesome, but, unfortunately, Home Depot Canada doesn't stock them. I'll have to stick with the eyelets. They seem to work just as good. : )
