Hi Phil i think nuts nyloc and plain flat washers in most sizes is a good start
Though the larger bolts you tend not to replace them very offten . you will find that 7/16 and 9/16 are more expensive than 1/2 and 5/8 .
and you never seem to have the right length bolt no matter how many you buy.
I also buy flanged nuts they look nice and you dont need spring washers.
to get around length I buy some long set screw bolts which are threaded all the way and cut them down to suit. Not as convient as the right bolt but saves having a huge stock list.
I mainly used metric for fabrication .
if you are working of the VW you will need some m7 x 1 bolts too.
realy handy if youu strip a 6mm or 1/4 bolt you can tap it 7mm .
see ya at the nats.
