We have RS Components in the UK, I think they are overseas as well.
They will deliver to you by courier if you cannot wait until next
morning, and although their ranges are a bit restricted in engine
terms, you can normally get things like Loctite, Bearings, Hardware
etc etc.

Going back to the 7/16" UNF Acorn/dome nuts which started this off, we
found three places eventually, one in the UK that has them on ebay,
but after three attempts to get details of thread depth etc out of the
guy I gave up on him.

One of the others replied to a request for pricing, but went quiet
when I asked about 30+ prices.

The last one just refuses to respond at all.

What recession?
