Stainless nuts bolts and washers NZ guys.

I normally buy from at local stainless supply place but they don't have much in the way of imperial anything now . I have been getting quite a lot of imperial unf etc from .
"The Boltholder" think they are in Mattamata their prices are listed per 100 and are pretty good , but you can buy less , I bought a huge stack of unf nylocs , washers etc for $ 50 nzd in a lot of sizes .

I don't use stainless as generally the tensile strength is less and also there is more prevalence to use anti Sease to prevent fouling etc , in NZ we don't have salted roads so therefor it necessary.

I think there is a lot of general nuts etc , exhaust cotton reel rubbers , tank bolts that are non critical , I haven't had an issue with any galling , most people on here wouldn't use them as a big end nut , but plenty use stainless spokes and other major components , my post was for the people that do use the odd bit of stainless etc , The "bolt holder" isn't too bad even without getting trade price , sometimes it's not worth replating and they dull off , I'd imagine Jerry's bike has a lot of stainless on board .Cheers from NZ.

Always good to have Options , sometimes you might not know about another company until you hear the name , they sell steel product as well , A bit like , for my F150 pickup I always had imported parts from Rock auto and been very pleased before "covid freight pricing" and most people over the last 10 years that I told , hadn't heard of them, mainly for American import car owners .

It won't help you, but I think it's funny that we have "The Nut House" in my town that supplies all kinds of nuts and bolts.

Perhaps they could similarly cater for the woodworkers with: 'Screw U'

They have good stock, just too expensive, but it helps if you get a trade account. Bolt Shop is way cheaper.

For many years, we had a really good supplier here called Blue Collar Supply. They specialized in sheet metal and tubing but had rows of bins of all kinds of nuts, bolts, washers, etc. sold by the pound--including stainless. Sadly, they didn't survive covid. :-(
