I laughed and went back to the shop I bought them from originally, a place called franbridges in moorebank. I walked out with 100 M8 nuts, 50 M8 bolts, 50 M8 washers, 50 M10 bolts, 50 M10 nuts, 50 M10 washers, 2 M20x160 bolts (with nuts and washers) and 20 M12 washers.

It cost $20 for the lot.

I thought maybe if anyone else had found great shops to get stuff like bolts, fiberglass, brake line fittings, paint ect ect from, maybe you could share them here, and this thread might be a good place for other builders to save some coin
Coventry Fasteners. Excellent service.
