Hard to find parts list?
Hello all, so i know there are lists for different bolts and such but i cant seem to find what i'm looking for.
It's the jam nut for the idle adjust screw on the throttle body. My dumb *** left it on the intake manifold and drove away and now it's lost forever. the thread size is really small and i couldn't match it up with anything at the hardware store.
Any info would be really appreciated!!

Yellow Pages -> Fasteners. If a local fastener store (note: not a hardware store) doesn't have it in stock, the can order it within a day or two.
Any community of any size past about 50,000 will have multiple fastener stores. Or you will be close enough to a larger city which will.
I can't recall having to ever order something at my local store. Always in stock.
Actually wait, I had to order some M7 studs/nuts for a DeLorean exhaust manifold once.

metrics aren't that common down here in the states. the local hardware store where i live now thinks that a dozen selections of metric coarse thread nuts and bolts is ok. the best option i have for metric is Lowes or Home Depot and their selection sucks almost as much ***.
the guys at the counter would laugh me out of the store if i asked to order a couple M4 nuts for $.10
there's actually quite a number of locations like where i am at with limited availability within an hour's drive. going further than that makes little sense, just order online.

So I could make some money getting together a list of what people want in metric, buying it at the local store, marking up for my time and trouble, then mailing them out?

And if that fails, which is rare, there is a Fastenal next door.

Fastenal if there is one near you. Online is slow but, reliable.

Thanks for all the replies!
This has been my experience. Just getting replacement caliper bolts for my impreza was a nitemare. I'll look into the m4 fine thread and see about finding a local shop. I've use and online shop called boltdepo in the past but there is a Fastenal about 20 minutes away from me so i'll give that a shot.
