Thread: Where to get fasteners besides microfasteners

Are there any other places where members are buying micro fasteners besides at micro fasteners?
And sources for solid pin rod and washers

Micro Fasteners is the only place that I know of to buy the micro bolts and nuts.

They also have the washers you are looking for!

1/16" rod can be found in hobby stores/model railroad stores and online!

Here's one link for both + Stainless:

Brass, Nickel Silver, Stainless Rods

This isn't the only supplier out there but it will get you started in your quest!

Thanks I did order from micro fasteners but the order got lost in the mail and have yet to get things squared away with microfasteners. So I wanted another vendor. I'll Have to see If microfasteners can add tracking to their orders in the future.

I've used stainless welding rod for peened pins. I still had to get the stainless washers though.
Barrel bolts are a practical alternative, unfortunately I've no longer got the link.

Might have to dig a bit, but at the very least you can get rod for pinning.

I used to be able to get tiny stainless steel screws and nuts at my local Sears Hardware store. Unfortunately, they closed that store, so I don't know if the Sears Hardware stores are still carrying that stuff. If you have one in your area, give it a try.

For the record microfasteners is a great supplier. The issue I had was with USPS and not microfasteners. In fact microfastneres offered to ship another order to me via UPS at their expense (double the cost of USPS). I declined and waited since I didn't feel they did not have do anything to fix the shipping issue which was out of their hands. In the end my order arrived. I only mention this because my original post and or the title of this thread could be misleading towards the the negative with microfasteners, which it is not meant to be.
