Thread: brass rods and flat washers

i have been searching the posts, and related stickies, and unless i missed it, (which is very possible) i did not see any place to purchase both the brass rod, and the size 0wide flat washers together. i found the rod at one site and the washers at another, but i would like to find one site, and save on the shipping costs, anyone have any ideas, or am i just trying to save a buck for nothing, i mean i could give it to the fed and be done with it,lol.

Look for a local hobby shop, the one in my neighborhood carries both rod and washers.

My local hobby store (Hobby Town) usually sells both but 99% of the time they are out. So basically I have resorted to buying my washers and rods online. Both come from different e-tailers. I haven't find both coming from the same store in the US with the exact same dimensions and sizes I need.

I get my rods from the nearest Hobby Lobby, but have to order the washers, which I order in large enough quantity that I rarely have to re-order.

thanks to all for the information, i guess i will look at my local hobby shop first and then go from there.

Thanks for the info,it comes at time where i've been seeking the same information thank you agian for the input

If you're going for quantity then I'd go to here for the washers... they don't have the rod though. My local hobby store sells the rod for about $1.5 for 2x36" rods and the washers for $2.70 for 10... much better deal at the site for the washers.
