Nuts 'n' bolts?

When you purchase stuff from MK do you get the relevant nuts and bolts or do you have to get these yourself?

Where can you get a bucket of nuts & bolts (nylock type)?

Cheers

Andy

Yellow pages, 'bolt and nut stockists', go there, get acquainted, you'll be making several visits to them

I'll second that, I get charged differently everytime I go to my local suppliers (Bradford Bolt and Nut), I also think they charge less if you go in and ask for what you want rather than take a bolt in and ask for 10 of those but 1" shorter

At my local Bolt and Nut (in Swindon) I try to make sure I get as much as I can in one visit, I ask for what I need by name e.g. 10 M10 nylocs or whatever, I buy more than I think I need and always use the extra eventually, and I've been in there enough so they know I'm going to pay cash and not need a receipt (it's so often the paperwork these guys hate). Well cheap. Better than Screwfix and I get exactly what I want rather than close.

Screwfix are fine if you only need metric stuff. Decent bolt and nut stockist will keep much wider range of lengths and UNF/UNC stuff as well, plus of course a wide range of pop rivets etc

the majoroty of the nuts,bolts,screws and washers you need to do your car you can get from screwfix,the odd sized ones you will have to get elsewhere,for price and service i dont think screwfix can be beaten.
a very satisfied customer
