When I lived in Cincinnati, I visited Hillman Fasteners one
day. These are the guys that make the mondo huge
assortment-o-fasteners displays that you see in many hardware
stores. They will sell over the counter if you have a precise
list of what you need. I got every weirdo bolt I needed for my
suspension rebuild, plus all the castle nuts and big nylocks
and three boxes of normal-sized (3/8, 1/2, 5/16) nylocks
in Fine thread and several boxes of flat washers and lock
washers there for about $60. Big win. And they make graded
nylocks in stainless. This was maybe 8 years ago, though,
so their policies or prices may vary now.
