Nuts, bolts and washers
« on: April 06, 2023, 05:27:44 PM »
Put my order in to RTL Fasteners last week end and it got here this afternoon.   I would get them from from local hobby shop mif they had them in larger size than just 4 pieces of an item.  It amazes me how he has grown as he now has metric sizes as well as DuBro items  Can't thank him enough for what he does.

There are several good online suppliers for small quantities of the stuff we need, and you're right - we can't thank them enough!

My usual deal is to go to the hardware store or industrial fastener supplier and buy a 100ct. box of whatever I need. Might take 30 minutes, including drive time. Have you really tried looking around your area for such sources?  :! Steve
