2mm...I think. If you have a Ace Hardware near you, try them. They usually have a ton of bolts of all sizes.

may have better luck with the mom and pop shop. lowes is gonna have mostly 4mm and bigger, home depot as well.
iv found that the little shops sometimes cater to local crafters and old retired guys farting around with stuff just to pass the time.

+1.

Also look for a "Sears Hardware", it's different than just a "Sears". The one close to me has some 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm and up.

As to a LHS, if they don't carry much "typical crawler hardware", let them know what you usually use. They may start to carry some of it, mine does.

And if all your local options don't pan out, I generally use RTL Fasteners online and they are great!

Unfortunately I don't have any LHS close to me but I checked out the mom & pop place & they had some 3mm that will work just fine, Thanks for the help!
