Does anyone know of a cheap online supplier for nuts ?

Basically I was changing my rear light cluster on my car as some little
idiot decided to smash it. It attached with 3 nuts and using a 8mm socket
to
get them off. I managed to get 2 of them off and dropped the third into
the
bodywork lost forever!

Now what I'm after is a replacement. I live in a remote area so popping
to
local diy stores is a lengthy process so if anyone knows of a online
supplier who would be happy to sell a single nut would be handy ?

I assume its a 8mm nut as I used a 8mm socket to get it out.

... just typical as soon as I get into a diy mood I start losing nuts!
...
I
was doing so well untill I get all thumbs.

Thanks



You got any old videos knock about? ruage the garage for scrap ites that
you
have no longer use for?
If I was a supplier I certainly would not sell just one nut...sheesh! it
would'nt even be worth the hassle thinking about it.

Sometimes that works the other way around
like the time I was doing a job in a little village somewhere in
Wales and I needed some cable clips for 3 pair telephone wire.
I go a few doors down to the local ironmongers / hardware store
and she had excatly the clips I wanted.
Just one box should do it I said
You want the whole box? was the surprised reply,
I normally sell them at 4p each.
She then proceeded to count the contents of the box.
