I'd suggest McMaster-Carr, www.mcmaster.com for everything you need.
They're often cheaper then anyplace else (BUT NOT ALWAYS), and
have an incredible selection, and technical information to go with.

DX Engineering has good U-bolts and saddles.

   Hi Guys:

   I am embarking on my first antenna project of any
   significance (something besides wires).

   I am looking at doing a simple direct coaxial fed 2 ele
   yagi to start with to see if I can even make this happen.

   Can someone please tell me who the supplier's) are for the
   proper weather resistant mechanical parts for these types
   of projects?

   Code may be taking a back seat for now,
   but the pioneering spirit that put the code
   there in the first place is out front of it all.
