McMaster Carr, MSC, Grainger.
My local true value has them, but I have found that small hardware is really a store by store thing. they make no money, but if the owner likes hardware, they stock alot. Its actually funny, each store has a personality that seems to reflect the owners likes and dislikes... Luckily I have three small stores nearby and I choose to head towards one based upon what I need...I have a mental inventory of each store. Rich |

It's amazing how many 'Porsche parts' OSH sells, Jim (I took your advice and bought the drain-tube hose there) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Jim, Post some pix of your fog-light install process for me ... I want to put some lights behind the grilles of the back-dated '75 'BB' Attached image(s)

Located them at McMaster-Carr. They are called Roundbase Weldnuts. They come in different sizes, metric/sae, etc.
Should I use the larger ones: 1 1/4 - 1 1/2" base with M8 bolt hole ? |
