Default Stainless nuts and bolts

I've got a box of nut's n bolts I need matching up for my Cosworth re-biuld in Stainless steel.

Does anyone know anywhere local in the North east that I can these to?

My local Anixter has fobbed me saying he can't get any


Thanks

Some bolts used for suspension components etc are high tensile and stainless ones can be weaker/brittle in comparison.

Which ones mate? the one's in the rear arms?


I've managed to source 99% of them from 3 different places. The only 2 types they can't get are the M12x210mm x2 for the rear diff.

I can get them for £60 for 10

and the 2 long M6 flanged bolts (can't remember the length) that go through the front of the sump.
