Really? If you live in a city large enough to support a half dozen
machine shops, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a tool and hardware
store dedicated to serving them. It'll be on a dead-end side street in
the industrial part of town. They'll have 100 or 1000 times the hardware
that your average big box has, but of course you'll have to go talk to
the guy at the counter to get it, because it won't be in little plastic
bags hanging on a customer-accessible pegboard.


or look for a salvage/surplus store,like Skycraft Surplus in Orlando.
If I want hardware,that's where I go.
