when you guys damage/strip/completely destroy nuts and bolts on your FC, where do you go to get new ones? Autozone and Kragen are certainly no help. You know, like little phillips bolts and 10-20mm nuts, etc.? If you go to buy them, how can you tell what pitch they are, etc?

 

my local hardware store has most nuts/bolts i need. usualy cheap and bye the # unless its something large like 20mm and up

dont worry, you wont pay much

when i go to the junk yards i allways grab xtra nuts n blots and other things

 

I have to get them from the dealer, since most places don't sell automotive nuts/bolts, damn weird pitches

 

Forget about automotive supply outfits. If they do have any bolts they'll rip you off on the price. They don't carry them because hardware stores carry a bazillion of them in bulk and sell them dirt cheap. You'll make more money devoting shelf space to $90 air filters than you will to 50 cent bolts...

Find a Home Depot. They carry bulk nuts and bolts and will also have a gauge for determining what kind of bolt you've brought in. I'd suggest getting someone there to match it for you - you don't want to **** it up and have to go back... Then you can take as many matching ones as you want (don't forget to pay for them on your way out.)

 

Oops.

 

I just go to an auto parts store near my house. If they dont have what Im looking for I go to Canadian tire. I have not come across 1 bolt I couldnt find at one of those stores.

 

Me too for Crappy Tire - but our bud here's in San Diego. No Crappy Tire for him.

 

lol. yeah, I doubt I'll find a canadian tire going up in my neighborhood anytime soon, unless you guys start the great north american war

 

Oh ****! Who snitched?!
