I buy most of my nuts and bolts etc. from Westfield Fasteners. They do a good range and good quality including M2 and deliver quickly.

Do you have enough timber to drill, cut the heads off the bolts, resin in place and secure with washers and nuts?

With some of the small fittings like handrail knobs etc it is worth crossing over to other hobies to check accessories.

For instance there is a large selection of handrail knobs with model railway specialists and the various gauges give different scales.
