Any one know of a "surplus materials" place like the old BOEING SURPLUS (used to be in Kent, WA) here in the Northwest? Place was a gold mine back in the day.

Boeing Surplus is no longer there?
That just ruined my day I always had plans to one day visit that place myself. My dad, who passed away a few years ago, used to go to Boeing Surplus a couple times a year when they had their annual fastener by the pound, and their tooling by the pound sales. He would call me up and ask me what I needed. I still have a couple hundred pounds of AN bolts and screws that I got for $1.25 a pound. The best one though was when he got me about fifty 1/2" to 1" diameter ball end mills for $1.25 a pound.

ANYONE HAVE A SOURCE FOR PROPELLER BOLTS?? I NEED 6 BOLTS 5/16" (AN5)... WITH A NOMINAL LENGTH OF 2 3/4" AND A GRIP LENGTH 1 3/4". AIRCRAFT SPRUCE DOES NOT CARRY THAT SIZE IN THE AN5 GROUP. THE GRIP LENGTH IS CRITICAL FOR A PROP BOLT.

HEY GUYS I FOUND PROPELLER BOLTS AT CALIFORNIA POWER SYSTEMS. 8mm X 70 mm with a 7/8" thread and drilled head for safety wire, $4.45 each. THEY ARE THE EQUIVALENT OF 5/16" X 2 3/4" LONG WITH A 1 3/4" GRIP.
