Another good source for strange hardware, including stainless steel metric fasteners: McFadden-Dale. One in Fullerton, once in Pomona area.

Kinda pricey but they have stuff I can only find online elsewhere.

I've had better luck going to Alternative Hose for metric fittings: http://alternativehose.com/Anaheim.html

Every Hose-Man I've been to never has metric stuff and if they do, their selection is very limited and expensive. Alternative hose is clean and professional looking while the Hose-Mans Ive been to are usually dirty (trash and hose scraps on the floor) and the employees are not the nicest bunch.

www.mcfaddendalehardware.com in Corona has a bunch of good stuff. I've only been to that one and my head was spinning at all the stuff they had.

taking note of all this. thanks for sharing guys. sometimes u need some fittings and lines here and there. And buying online and waiting for it in the mail can be a problem.
