I've seen them listed in McMaster-Carr catalog. They aren't the cheapest things. Also check at the local airport pilots supply. You could use aluminum aircraft lock-nuts instead of Ti nuts. Titanium has a tendency to gall so the alum nuts are a easy way around the problem. They have plastic inserts and are designed to be reusable.
