10-32 oval head #12 hd

Chrome:

8 x 32 x 7/16" rd hd

10 x 32 x 11/16" rd hd

8-32 x 5/8" oval hd

Thanks. Gary

I know a lot of people disagree, but buying slotted stainless screws and polishing the heads is a fair alternative - look in Marine supply stores for the stainless screws. The finish comes close to nickel. Not perfect, but close.

Thanks for the tip! But, I am one of those oddballs that are looking for the real thing! G

Nickle/chrome is getting very hard to come by, but if the application will accept brass hardware then you can always have them plated. I agree with MONEYPIT regarding the stainless hardware for many applications. If you buy good quality and polish it right it will pretty much pass for nickle. Google "Totally Stainless" for a real good source for virtually any type of stainless fastener. Luckily they are about 15 minutes from my shop, they're great to work with, and will sell you any quantity you need (like one or two screws), unlike some places that will only order in box quantities.

Hello all & good morning,

I would suggest the Bolt Depot - Nuts and Bolts, Screws and Fasteners online, they have a great selection, good prices, nice format on their web page, and good customer service. I have used them several times and have only good things to say.
