Lemme tell you about my "local fasten none"
#1 "Don't got that"
#2 "Yeah we can get that... Ya gotta buy 200"
#2 "Ya want Aircraft Grade stuff? Go to an airport"
#3 Why do ya want a bolt X long with a shank X long with X thread pitch?
#4 Can't get that
#5 what's a Triumph?
This is from a 10 year non-relationship. When I need a specific bolt I
go to Racer's Wholesale or Pegasus. I get what I need when I need it
without having to buy a case of something I need only 5 of.
