Washers, Nuts & Bolts

[Stags6969]

Where are the best places to get your playfield washers, nuts and bolts from?
And are these stainless or bright zinc?

I've seen @philpalmer stocks some, but not all, @pinballmania has a greater range, but is still closed.
Is there anywhere else, or should I wait for Andy to open back up.
Not in a great rush, but would like to get a selection.

Is it purely pinball stores that stock these with them being American standards?

I think @myPinballs used to stock some? Might be worth dropping him a message?

There are quite a few imperial fasteners available on accu.co.uk -- might be worth taking a look.

Westfield Fasteners online do 6-32 and 8-32 in different lengths AND different head styles in both stainless and bright zinc finish. You need to order in 100/200 quantities to get best prices

Andy at pinball mania has a great kit worth waiting for.

I would say any pinball owner should grab a 'selection box' like this, especially at my age when you drop a screw in a cab and can not find it for about an hour - great idea @James
