Robert - McMaster-Carr is a very good source. Their HQ offices and regional warehouse are in Elmhurst, IL -- within 1 mile of my QTH ... SO I drive over to the "Will Call" window and pick-up my order the same day (spoils me) !!!
However, some itmes are a minimum quantity size of 100. In these cases, I use Small Parts in Florida. http://www.smallparts.com/ They have a wide assortment of parts. I can ususally order in single or qty 10 .. which is more reasonable for less used items. Greg w9gb ====== Robert, Stainless steel lock washers, including the star variety, are very easy to find- you just need to get them from an industrial supplier. My favorite source is McMaster-Carr: www.mcmaster.com [snip] Go to the above Web site, and enter "star washers" in the "find products" window. Then select "stainless steel" and go from there. I have found stainless steel U-bolts, threaded rod, Uni-Strut, and all sorts of oddball hardware there. I'll admit that McMaster-Carr prices are a bit high on some items, but the convenience of ordering hard-to-find items online is worth it. [snip] 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY
