Ok, I give up. I have been searching and searching for a source for J.I.S. spec fasteners. I have come up with a few online dealers who have small selections of these bolts but none have a decent enough selection of bolts nuts, washers and staked(grade c)nuts in the grade and thread pitches I need. I guess I could try the dealer but I am thinking that I will probably pay a huge premium for what should be cheap components that I may be able to source elsewhere.

If you know of a source for these parts please share the wealth and rescue me from Google land.

P.S. I don't speak or read Japanese so please don't recommend a site in Japanese unless it can be navigated using English or imagery.

Frustrated and beaten....

I also pull good condition harware from other Datsun/Nissans on every trip to the pick and pull-generally the hardware inside the car or under trim is in great shape.

Yeah, I saw this one searching the board. Unfortunately these guys seem to have a very small selection as well, and dont have any of the bolts or nuts I am looking for save maybe one or two and they have the wrong finish. In addition, they only seem to have 5 JIS spec nuts, 3 of which are flanged.

I bought the ones I couldn't find from the dealer, but in many cases the finish has gone from golden cadmium to tin silver.

Here's another source and it looks like they cater to enthusiasts as well. you can download their catalog in PDF format as well. Lots of great stuff and a decent colection of J.I.S. fasteners. I haven't ordered from them yet but I will be placing an order today. I'll let you all know how it turns out.
