i use this place on ebay quite a bit, it has free postage on most items as well which is always a bonus.
the shop is called Aruncas
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Aruncas_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm.
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

p&p might be a bit rich from www.nutsandbolts.com plus the import duty!!
BTW nutsandbolts.co.uk is no good either.
Another vote for namrick here.

If you want bigger quantities then Fastfix Direct are good. I've also used
AHC Camberley a few times, probably not the cheapest but they're fairly local to me so I can pop in,
and they're a funny bunch of nutters

I buy a lot of A2 and A4 Stainless fixings from screwfix, and theyre pretty good.
Only thing with Stainless though is that you have to be careful if youre going to use a Stainless nut with a Stainless bolt, as they CAN seize due to
surface gaulling.
Therefore I tend to use BZP nuts with A2/A4 bolts. Dont get any rust problems that way.

I usually (i.e. when I remember) put a smear of copper grease on stainless nuts & bolts - avoids this problem.

agreed, good site, good prices.
They quote for 100's but you can buy 1's and 2's
Are they any good in real life?

not sure yet, ill let you know when the stuff arrives.
as you said, they allow you to buy any number, and the prices are good, much better than my local rip off motor factors who never seem to stock
anything relevent.
the only bummer is the postage, you can choose a postage less than next day at £7
