This place looks expensive.

I found plenty of good places by looking on eBay when I wanted a stock of proper sized nuts and bolts from my XK.
I also bought some selection "kits" from scparts.

Another vote for Namrick, also Spalding Fasteners have a very good range.

If the Willwood calipers are aluminum alloy you might want to consider using ARP stainless bolts which won't corrode to the caliper. DO NOT be tempted to use ordinary stainless bolts as they will not be strong enough. You can buy ARP stainless in a 5 pack on ebay.

When I built my Mk 2 a few years ago, my local John Deere suppliers had many of the imperial bolts I was looking for.

Also Margnor fasteners in Jacobs Well, near Guildford. I often post them bolts asking for a few more like them and they post them back next day, taking payment over the phone.
