Orchard Supply used to carry plastic screws nuts etc. with
the metric bolts.
Dunno if you have them in your area, or if the buyout by Sears
has made them stop carrying stuff like that.
I was please to discover the other week that my local hardware store
which is either an ACE store or is unaffiliated (can't remember which)
had a reasonable selection of metric hardware including grade 8.8 bolts.
Since even my one "American" vehicle (Ford Ranger) has metric
parts, this is a good thing. Now if I can only find a local source
for the small-head hex bolts on my Kawasaki...
