What size are you looking for?

They come in 1 1/8"...1 1/4"...1 1/2"...1 5/8...1 3/4"...1 7/8"...2 1/8"...2 1/4" and 2 1/2" and on up to 5"

2" is common (in stock) in most automotive stores.

Fastenall at least here, is too expensive. I went into there to buy a meter of 8mm X 1.0 all thread and they discounted the stick for me at $20.00. I can buy a meter at NAPA for less then half that of Fastenall.

The ONLY time I go to Fastenall is if I need, drill bits, taps, dies or the such, if I need them at the moment, otherwise I'll order them online as hardly any one around here stocks metric items I need. And I really don't want to drive 30+ miles each way, (burning up to $12.00 in fuel) if I can wait.
