Ive found a pretty good source for brass bits and pieces! Ive been working on my little upshure farm engine and it requires several small parts to be made from Brass. While at a Garage Sale this past weekend I picked up a box full of old brass hinges and striker plates, and some other brass cabinet hardware. A lot of useful pieces of brass. Just have to saw out the needed shapes from the between the screw holes.
