Any good hardware store should carry them.
Good Luck!

Try the hardware section at Lowes they seem to have a better section which even includes some automotive fastners. You may even try Fastenal. There are a few around town one is on 1431 west of 183 just after Walmart on the right. They only deal in fastners. Good luck.

A google search shows how widely used they are.

My "pal" nuts were not my pals, they'd slip and come off and I didn't want to risk losing a letter, so I ran a tap over the studs (just using my finger), I think it was an 8-32 and now I can use regular nuts.
