Default Sandblasting

This is a two-part question, the first bit applies to people in the greater Melbourne area.

Sandblasting
Having recently had some parts blasted for Swiss Chris' F15 I have need of your input as to who you've used and whether you've found them to be good. The guy I used was good but rather on the expensive side as it turned out.

Source of supply
The second relates to the availability of 3/16" captive nuts. As in any restoration there are some bolts which you either can't coax out of the cab or which shear off so the captive nuts need to be replaced. There are of course many areas where you can get behind with an ordinary nut but some definitely have to be replaced. The 3/16" are the ones used in the cab floor, around the grille, driver's toeplate and dash on a Ford cab. The nuts are square.

Thanks
