Where do you fine folks purchase your replacement bolts from for the rebuilds in our lives? My chassis came with the majority of bolts missing. The standard pitch metrics I can get easily but the fine pitch ones are proving more troublesome...
If it's on the road before my son can drive, I'll see that as a success... 8 years left!

Your local fasteners should be able to fine a perfect match or as near as for any nut, bolt, rod, washer etc etc  you'll need.
Google search your local area and pop over with whatever it is you need more of  ;-)up

For me it would depend what the bolt was being used for and if a safety critical element I would want to know where it had been made and that it had not been supplied from some questionable source that may have certified it as a grade or quality that it in fact isn't. Things not being what they are described as is becoming very common in my world at the moment....

If you want fancy looking things like spike heads, or titanium with loads of finishes etc.

awesome, cheers for all the replies guys :) My local place does all the basic stuff and some of the less common but the fine thread metrics in high tensile, not so easy!
