Al,
I found a pretty good supply of metric bolts at the neighborhood NAPA
store.  They keep the bins behind the counter because people tend to rummage
through them with no reguard for the next guy.  They have since discontinued
carrying metric bolts, so I hope I don't need any more metric bolts.  We
also have a place called American Bolt here in Austin that carries almost
any kind of American or metric bolt ever built, but they are across town and
their hours are not very friendly, so I only use them as a last resort.
