Local source for aircraft hardware?

[ausgeflippt951]

I'll be doing some work to a carbon fiber wing, and it needs a few nutserts/inserts replaced.

I'm not 100% sure what exact hardware will work best for me, so I'd prefer to go somewhere and peruse what's available. Size range required is M4-M6.

Is there somewhere local who might have such things? I'm in Reston, VA.

Thanks in advance!

You might find what you need on McMaster-Carr.com. They have CAD drawings of every part, so you can get a pretty good idea of it.

Yeah, thanks Greg. If it comes down to it I'll probably use them. Was just hoping to (a) not have to order anything and (b) support my local economy. :-P

Aircraft Spruce is another online place, with CAD/engineering drawings of all fasteners. I've used them to source jet engine hot-section fasteners, for the flange bolts for the single-turbo RX-7 I used to have.

Dunno about local, sorry!

Thanks Ed -- I'll check them out as well. Never personally used them meself.
