= Nuts and Washers Guidelines =
We're going to use [http://www.mcmaster.com/ Mcmaster Carr] instead.  Some items to note:
*Generally using steel
*Dont care about finish(Usually Plain, though if zinc finish or stainless steel are available for cheaper or equivalent, take those)
*Don't care about rating(but if rated is same price or cheaper, go for it)
*looking for qty 100, though occasionally you can get more for same price
*For washers, well just price out standard, as they'll fit metric fine.
*We're waiting on a bolt order as we think there is a cheap assortment.  However if you order bolts, use same guidelines and simply order the longest bolts that are completely threaded.  For smaller bolts just cut down.

When reordering, dont necessarily buy the same part if price has gone up substantially, try to find another cheap replacement with the above guidelines

=Bolts Guidelines=
On mcmaster carr I drilled down to socket cap screws->standard head->drive by hex->right handed->no self locking.  Go cheapest finish(black oxide or stainless is often cheapest).  Just order a large length (fully threaded if possible) rather than stock all lengths.  We can cut them down if we need to.  Again it is more important to find the price break for size/qty than for matching sets
