Yes, sorry, but it does have some benefits. Everywhere I've lived in the U.S., there has been a place like the one I currently use, called Automotive Fasteners, that's both helpful and a good source of all sorts of fasteners, (except titanium). You do need to know if the fasteners you're looking to replace need to be high strength or not, corrosion resistant or not, etc. It's good to replace a fastener with a better one, but not good to downgrade. If there are grade markings on the fasteners you remove, that's good, they'll know what they mean. If unmarked, you can tell them what its used for, where it goes, but it's always up to you to get what you really need, not all countermen are experts.
Thread gauges and calipers, plus basic knowledge of fastener properties, which can be learned on the internet, make it possible to find and order what you need, but a machine specific list like yours Runako is just simple and easy.
