Nuts & Bolts source?

Post by snapple »

Anyone know of a good source for new nuts & bolts? I'm swapping rear bumpers and need to replace the bolts. Thanks! :cheers:

I have no idea. I need a j-nut on the one side of my dog house for the trim piece that goes over it (you know the one that the two torques bolts go into on either side that have those caps over them). It has been missing since I got the van, but I have never got around to replacing it. I haven't checked around, but I would guess for nut and bolts and company specializing in them would have whatever you need.

I don't know if these companys are nation wide but you could do an internet check. Here in Orlando we have House of Threads, and Webb Nut and Bolt. \:D/

Well, you can try this: http://www.nutsandbolts.com/
I , myself, have never used them.. yet..I've had them in my "favorites" for some time, they have some things I haven't been able to find elsewhere (without paying dealership prices!) I noticed they ship only to the U.S. though.. so it won't be too much help to our Canadian friends...
