Where to get bolts/nuts for the KA(E)?

[sil80drifter]

Hey guys, as some of you know I am putting together a KA-ET (KA24E) this summer, and the problem I have is, I have a lot of parts for the engine, In fact I need only the water pump to have a complete engine, but I am missing quite a few bolts and nuts for various parts to bolt on to the engine. Example: I have the timing cover, but not the bolts that it uses to be fastened to the block. I don't have exhaust manifold bolts, and a myriad other little and big ones. I could make a list of the ones I am missing(if needed), but what I REALLY NEED TO KNOW is: where can I get the bolts? Nissan Dealership? I don't want to use too many junkyard bolts (I have vast experience with rusty Nissan bolts/nuts/stripping them), and I don't have easy access to one in CT anyway. So where could I get them from? Thanks in advance,

Dont you guys have something like "Industrial" hardware stores, i have found every bolt i needed in those places and they are as hard as i need, for shocks or seats or what ever.

mcmastercarr is the industrial catalog to use. They are a Illinois based company. THier catalog is several thousand pages long, and contains anything you could think of.

Nissan can order in anything you need.

Not sure what you're talking about....that's where I get all my bolts.

When I put my new motor in, I went to Ace to get all the hardware to bolt up the transmission. Found everything I needed....and 10.9 instead of 8.8.

Ace IS the place.
