Bolt Depot is a good on-line source for metric bolts by the piece. Shipping is a bit high for just a couple of bolts but the bolts themselves are cheap enough.

Thanks Dan, sorry for giving you  a hard time on my electronics malfunction post  :) should i be going with the stainless a-2 only?

I've had good luck with the stainless selection at Ace hardware.  If I recall, Fastenall has a pretty good selection as well, but I've not had to use them for a couple of years.  I got some lengthened bolts for my master cylinders after I shimmed them out (coffin masters vs clipons) and they work just fine. 
We're liberated by the hearts that imprison us.  We're taken hostage by the ones that we break.

+1 on Ace... They are my go to place for hardware as they not only have a huge selection of nuts / bolts but also lots of stuff that real auto parts stores used to carry like: copper washers, small springs and clips.

I don't use stainless for anything with a high load, everything else can be swapped.  It's a good idea to use anti-seize if you're not using locktite.

I think Nate was helping Ben with his kite, so he knows more about electrics than I do anyway
