Hi
Why don't you make MISUMI available to get such parts as you are looking for?
The company carries much smaller ones like to use for eye glasses. :-))

For tiny scale hardware you might look through Walthers products, online, or at the local model railroad shop.

I managed to pick up a small tub of M2 nuts and bolts at a boot fair, the 60mm dia tub 20mm tall probably has several lifetimes supply of assorted 2mm nuts and bolts in sizes from about 6mm long to 20mm long, a tub of 1000 spectacle screws is a fraction of that size (generally 1.2mm or 1.4mm dia)

When looking for these in the past I searched everywhere it seems, until I realised you have to look for Bolts and Nuts.

'All Screwed Up' in Leicester are my local supplier where I buy modeling size, M2 upwards nuts and bolts, over the counter -
usually stainless - bolts (including cap heads), washers, spring washers, half nuts/full nuts, Nyloc nuts etc.
I've pointed many modellers and motor cyclists in their direction over the years for great service and vast stocks at good prices.
They have an online shop and take orders by phone, how this works out cost wise etc I've no experience.

WOW, what a wonderful feature.

When I lived in Bognor Regis, Squires was a twenty minute walk away from home! They do a selection of wee ironmongery, certainly in brass but maybe in SS as well.
-
Yes, I go into Squires fairly often but the stock levels of things like nuts & bolts can be a bit hit or miss. Love just browsing though and always emerge with a lighter wallet and a bag of bits which 'might come in useful' only to find all too often that I've already got some at home....

hi ya there
Try this Company. I haven't purchased nuts and bolts from them, but, I have purchased some electrical stuff from them.
They do a good selection of nuts and bolts.
