It's always good to have a full supply of nuts/bolts/washers/screws/ etc. on hand for any project. Buying a whole bunch of these new can be cost prohibitive (not really bad, but bad enough for cheapos like me). So......what to do. Well, generally speaking, oem hardware is very high quality.
1. 5 gallon bucket
2. assorted junkyard tools
3. understanding junkyard owner (ask first as some may not care for this,or they may want to charge you more then it's worth.)
Now walk through the junkyard and strip every nut/bolt/screw/washer/etc. off of any car (make sure you only get metric or only standard-know your cars). Fill your bucket to the top! This is a great way to get misc. hardware on the cheap for those "darn it, i need a 9/16 washer" moments.
