Who's the screw-meister?

I'm trying to get the windshield ready for install and I need to find a local source for 8 stainless oval machine screws, 5/16" length, 10/32 threads. None of the local hardware stores I've visited have them. I can get 100 from McMaster Carr (minimum qty.) but I only need 8. Anybody know a source I can walk in and buy? If not, I'll probably be a source for 92 screws in the future.

By the way, great picnic last week, still haven't found an appropriate place for THE CLOCK.

Not local to you but try www.boltdepot.com and you can order any quantity you want for reasonable prices.

Glad to hear that you are looking for an appropiate place for THE CLOCK donated by our Snapon tools dealer.

Usually altho McMaster prices things by 100 Qty you can buy 25.

Tim,

Rather than hardware stores, check for local fastener supply houses that cater to industry.

They have stuff that hardware stores have never even heard of, and most will be happy to sell you a few pieces of whatever they carry. In a city the size of Chicago, there should be tons of them closeby.

Good luck!

Cheers!
