Hello Tom,
Armortek did do a set of square , cone , and stand off bolts suitable for the Tiger . Drop Gill an email , they may have some left.
As to other sizes of scale nuts and bolts , try the people that do live steam model traction engines, and loco,s .

Hi Tom

I use these guys for scale fasteners. They should have everything you are after. The 2-56 and 3-48 brass hex heads are what I used most of on my Panther's rear deck. They supply the nuts as well plus some small scale rivets.

Hope that helps

Tim

Here is a way to see what the bolts look like in relation to 1/6 scale.
