RE: What do you experienced guys do.....
lowes has a pretty good selection of hardware. engine mount screws or bolts are most likely 4-40 or 6-32 screws. they will have the nuts to match. if you can't find what you need there, NAPA auto parts has a good selection of screws etc. I am spoiled since i work on fullsize aircraft doing fabrication and structural maintenence for a living, so hardware is always available to me.
