I tend to use specialist suppliers rather than chandleries, as they are (mostly) cheaper and have much bigger ranges.  Ones that I have used include:
- Seascrew  https://www.seascrew.com/browse.cfm?STAINLESS-FASTENINGS-&l=0000001333.  Expensive.
- Baseline Marine https://www.baselinemarine.com/shopdisplaycategories.asp?id=5&cat=Fastenings.  Expensive.
- Accu https://www.accu.co.uk.  Spectacularly large range but can be expensive.
- Boltworld https://boltworld.co.uk/.  Big range and cheaper than some of the others
- Westfield Fasteners https://www.westfieldfasteners.co.uk/ScrewBolt_M.html.  Another one with a large range but can be expensive
- A2a4 https://www.a2a4.com/acatalog/.  Cheap specialist in marine fastenings and a big range of both metric and old imperial.  Not the fastest delivery so it pays to plan ahead!

I've tried to standardise on A4 316 stainless and pozi drive heads, so that I don't need so many different screwdrivers.
