any good motor factors, or at a push, halfords can get hold of all of them for you. best of all, they'll all match.

not the cheapest, but if you tell them how you're building a car, and will be a bulk parts buyer, they should sign you up for a trade card. brings it down to slightly cheaper than the independent factors round here.

get them from a smaller shop, and they might have one and have to order you another, which will invariably be different, with a different nut.

maybe i'm just too picky
