Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Metric Hardware

[Jeff Greenfield (coyote]

A few other sources ...

Wurth USA, wide variety of stuff, a lot of OEM fasteners for European  
cars. Very good quality, but very expensive.

www.wurthusa.com

Metric and Multistandard, not sure if they sell assortments, I think  
they do, very good prices on hardware, pretty good selection but you  
generally have to buy in quantity (usually 50 or 100 pieces depending  
on the item). Most of their stuff is good, often the same as what  
Wurth sells, but recently some items are made in China, as opposed to  
the US or EU.
