[Public-List] questions about bronze fasteners

[brian curry]

Hi everyone,
 
Looking for some help here.  I am looking to do several projects with the wood on my boat and am wondering is anyone can give me answers to some questions:
 
1.  Without measuring, does anyone know offhand how many sizes and lengths of fasteners are used on our A 30s?
 
2. Are silicon bronze fasteners the same as bronze fasteners?
 
3.  Where is the best place to buy bronze fasteners?  I have been looking online at Jamestown Distributors (example box of 100 #8 x 1/2 is $8.70/box.)  I would like to buy basically what I would need, meaning various sizes, to use on the boat.
 
Finally if anyone has another idea INSTEAD of bronze fasteners, please let me know.
 
Thanks,
