Grainger, machining tool supply or any larger bolt supplier (usually free there).
Grainger is a little pricey, should be around 4 or 5 bucks apiece.
You can use vernier calipers instead of the thread gauge too.
The pitch gauges are the important ones.

I have one of these and love it. Well made, easy to use of course and at a good price. I use it all the time.
