Default Where to find hose barb for MBC install

I'm in the process of installing a Tial wastegate and Linsey MBC and need to connect all hoses. I have plastic barb connectors, but would rather do the install with metal couplers. I have looked in every hardware store in town and have come up empty handed.

Does anyone know of a good source for brass hose barb connectors? Thanks,

1) To splice the MBC into the IC boost line I need a brass Tee 1/4" barb X 1/4" barb X 3/16" barb.

2) To connect the MBC to the top banjo barb on the Tial wastegate I need a 1/4" barb to 3/16" barb reducer (or better yet, a 3/16" banjo barb).

McMaster Carr.

They have all sorts of stuff and sell in single quantities. Could probably get stainless steel barbs too

Brian, thanks for the reference to McMaster Carr, looks like a great source for hardwarde, I took a quick look at their website, but i didn't see stainless steel barbs, so will go with brass for now. Thanks.
