Good source for small parts (nuts, bolts, washers, nyloc nuts)?

I've just about got my TR-250 stripped down far enough to get a welder over
to repair the suspension.  I'm now starting to think about reassembly and
what parts I'll need to buy.  Lots of nyloc nuts and lock washers need
replacing, as well as several bolts and nuts.

I'm not familiar enough with the thread pitches on my car to know if those
small parts are going to be available at my local hardware or auto parts
store.  According to my Roadster Factory catalog, the parts are grade 5, UNF
threads.  TRF's prices seem awfully high ($0.50-0.80 each for nyloc nuts,
for instance), but like I said, I'm not that familiar with this sort of
stuff.

Any suggestions about where I can get this stuff at a decent price?

Thx,
