Thanks

That's the right plan.
Ace Hardware typically has tons more metric than Lowes and HD.

A lot more. Even allen head 10mm screws to make upper left engine mount easier on late cases for doghouse engines, JIS metric stuff (12mm wrench size for 8 x 1.25mm threads).
I don't know about True Value.

Ace has a great selection of metric stuff, they even have wave washers.

It would be very bad for my wallet if I had a hardware store that close. |
