Default Stainless bolts and fixings, where from?

Where about do you get your new bolts from, I have tried endless times it the past to get the correct bolts ordered direct from Ford and usually get the wrong items sent So Im looking for a supplier for nice new Stainless steel bolts for my rebuild, a selection of M6 through to M10s for things like Anto roll bars and rear beam mounts, seat mounts etc. Also new Screws and clips for the engine bay area too.

Who do you use??

check your local thompson or yellow pages for FASTENERS,i find it best to take my old nuts and bolts to them to avoid wrong items plus they sort me whilst i wait

dont use stainless bolts on load bearing members and fixings as there tensile strength is seriously compromised compared to normal steel fixings.

what you want is 12.9's on all suspension and braking parts, incl seat mounts etc.

Thanks all, good reminder there. Im after bolts that will weather better than the crap I have on my car at the minute, though anything new will be better than whats on there now yes tensile strength has been noted Cheers for the links.
