When doing up Mokesta I went to a bolt place and bought UNC and UNF bolts in a wide range of lengths. I got bags of washers and nuts too. Mostly I got plated bolts but some were black. I think I just got about 10 of each size. Cost a couple of hundred 10 years ago. I ran out of many sizes and had to get more but I still have HEAPS of bolts.

Not a very efficient way of going about it. If I were to do it again, I'd do a bit of a stocktake of the bolts I'd taken off the car and buy only those.

Having said all that, there is nothing better than being able to use all new nuts, bolts and washers when putting a car together.

These days, with Ajax fasteners having virtually gone, I would go to Coventry Fasteners. They have lots of stores.
