Other than pro-bolt, or hyper-bolt (sites not working properly at the mo). Does anyone know of any other places to buy bolts from. I need some seriously small M3 and M4 bolts of which pro-bolt want stupid money per bolt.

Thanks

i found builders merchants to be the best/cheapest locally, astra building supplies on brunel were very helpful - ordered unusual size/pitch stainless bolts in for me next day and were cheaper than most places

Go out to CMS and see derek - they have a pretty good range of most things ..... if you're looking for ally, then at that size they're easy to cut down, and if you are looking for stainless then Derek will no doubt have what you want !!
