Default Replacement Bolts / Washers / Nuts, etc

I've already bought my fair share of replacement hardware from Roger, but there's been a few instances where I've been doing some work under the body (cleaning up some of the exhaust hanger areas) and I didn't have replacements on hand.

I've found that Ace Hardware (no affiliation as a stock holder or otherwise ) has a pretty darn good selection of zinc plated, stainless steel and chrome bits, along with some more obscure pieces like spring washers.

Seems to have a better inventory than the HD, and everything is done in single quantities versus needing to buy in bulk.

I'll still rely on Roger & the other suppliers for mission critical hardware or for planned work, but good to know that there's a decent supplier within driving distance.

Just an FYI....

+1 on Ace, someone has done a lot of thoughtful work on their hardware offerings for the 928 owner.

I once bid on a five gallon bucket of random used S4 hardware on fleabay.
I lost.
Which one of you dudes swiped it from me?
