58 Impala Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Model Motorcars. They have a large selection of small hardware.
styromaniac Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 I've used Grandt Line items made for the model railroading community...but since the closure of many of the hobby shops in my area I've had to hunt for them online.

Richard Bartrop Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 In Calgary, Trains and Such is my go to place for small bolts, bolt heads, and other scratchbuilding needs.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 I use Grandtline, and Tichey train,( just buy an assortment of sizes and use what is appropriate), but recently I did discover Masterclub resin nuts and bolts, and these are amazing. Again, a very wide variety of sizes and styles. and the price is really good in my opinion.
Deuces ll Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 There was a company called "small parts" and they had a thick catalog full of stuff.... I wonder what happened to them...????

I wonder what happened to them...???? I loved Small Parts Inc. (and their excellent reference catalogs). They carried so many useful products. Amazon bought them out years ago, and killed them. Well, you can still find some of their items on Amazon, but the stuff is totally disorganized. I gave up on the "new" Small Parts inc. There is a company in Florida that seems to use the same part numbering system that Small Parts used, but their inventory is much smaller than what Small Parts used to have.

vincen47 Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) RB Motion has a high quality selection of small fittings, along with other useful detailing parts. Highly Recommended. www.rbmotion.com Edited March 9, 2021 by vincen47
Erik Smith Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Are you looking for actual nuts and bolts or just a representation of nuts and bolts? If you're just looking for things that look like nuts and bolts but don't actually hold anything together, the best bang for your buck are from ModelClub https://www.modelbuilderswh.com/collections/detail-parts/products/bolt-head-on-a-washer-7mm-all-scales Edited March 9, 2021 by Erik Smith
Mike999 Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 MENG has plastic nuts and bolts in different sizes. You only have to "shave" them off the backing sheet with a chisel blade.
sjordan2 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I filled out that part with dismantled watch parts from eBay.
