Default Finally! A source for long SS bolts!

The Atlanta McMaster warehouse has a special truck that delivers only to
me. I have the driver trained where to put things in the boat shed. :-)

A source you may not think of for this sort of thing is McMaster Carr,
www.mcmaster.com. Their catalog runs around 2400 pages of all sorts
of industrial supplies. They're more expensive than Jamestown, but
have a lot of things that Jamestown doesn't -- 5/16 brass bolts for
wiring, for example, including connector nuts 7/8" long. Their web
site is a lot easier to use than Jamestown. No 7" SS bolts, though.

At $13 each, couldn't you figure out a different way to do whatever
you're doing?

I have spent a year now looking for 1/2 -13 x7" flat head stainless
machine screws for my stem fitting. I have checked with every vendor
suggested here and many others with no luck. I found them by accident
yesterday at boltdepot.com. Not cheap but beggars can't be choosers.

And before I hear the knee jerk "Jamestown Distributors", they only go
up to 5".
