Did you try 7 Corners Hardware? They had some pretty cool, off the path, stuff 10 years ago when I used to hit Minneapolis pretty often.

Yep, I was in there about 10 years ago, and about 5 years ago. Unfortunately during that 5 year period they have become a lot more ordinary in the hardware, and no longer have the great nuts and bolts like they used to.
