I need some dome headed, zinc coated, allen bolts for my Westfield as well as some other washers, screws etc. I have no idea about sizes so I need to see the bolts 'physically' before I buy them. What Im trying to say is that I've made two very unsuccessful attempts to buy on line but ended up with bolts that really have no resemblance to what I wanted!

Can anybody recommend me a shop near Sutton/Croydon (SW London) that I can walk into and talk to someone about my bolts?

In case you don't have any luck locally, I can fully recommend MBE in Kent. What they don't know not worth knowing etc... There's a customer service counter at the premises. minimum order is £5 the last time I went, so do a bit of a shopping list if you can.

Exactly what I need but Maidstone is nearly a 2 hour round trip from me! Anything nearer me?

I'm not sure of the name of the shop, but there is a place i have purchased from before

Kingston business centre,Fullers Way South, Kingston Upon Thames, just off the A3 near between tolworth and Hook junctions.

They sell in bulk, but i've been in there a few times and just picked up a few bit's a pieces, for the odd £10.
