Not that they are required for an engineering project, but they're to bolt cross/stiffening bars to a bed frame, so not critical.
Other than not wanting to fall through the bed again!
So here's the question,
Do you get a selection box (from China) that includes nuts and washers?
or
Go for single bolts, nuts and washers (eBay, so probably someone breaking down a selection box) as they're on eBay only.
or
Go to my local bolt supplier and buy from him, embarrassingly asking for 4 or 5 of each.
But who's to say they're not from the same place and would, the bolt supplier ones, be justified for the purpose?
Having been in retail, years ago, I try where possible to support local suppliers but I'm not sure my not going to the bolt place would have a detrimental effect on his business.
