Who are the suppliers that make Toyota nuts and bolts? Do they sell to the public in bulk? (2 Viewers)

[DesertRatliff]

Here's a question I'm not getting any traction on in another vehicle specific Toyota forum and thought I would ask here:

I know about McMaster Carr, Grainger, Ebay, and of course, the over-priced selection of metric hardware at my local ACE hardware store or the individual tagged and bagged ( and dealer-priced) OEM Toyota hardware available through Toyota but does anyone know if any of the different JIS hardware suppliers who make hardware for Toyota vehicles sell it in bulk quantities? At this point, I'd be interested in learning about the Japanese companies that produce that hardware if someone can provide some names. Additionally, I might even be interested in a high-quality source for new, OEM replica hardware as pictured below as long as it's decent quality. I'm mainly talking about the OEM, factory looking silver and gold zinc plated M8, M10, and M12 bolts with the captive washer(s) in various lengths that hold so many fittings on to the body and frame of our Toyota cars and trucks and would love to buy 100+ or so of each at a bulk quantity price. Not really interested in parting out a Toyota for these or buying bulk used hardware on Ebay either (at least not yet).

Looking for a cheaper source than going part number by part number and bolt by bolt through a Toyota dealer and interested in learning about that supply chain/history if someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Make friends with your local dealership parts guy

They have boxes and boxes of them for general repair

Mine has always given me a sane price when I've asked for a dozen or two

Man...I wish my local dealer was worth the trip but I've been bitten once too many times to even consider it.

Thanks but looking specifically for OEM style and finish. McMaster Carr for everything else!
