Isn't it about time U.S. went metric?

I like those and for the life of me I can't find a supplier of something similar in Oz .. you'd think it would be easy!

[size=13pt]Mmmmm, let me think?  [eek]
Oh yes, Home Hardware, Bunnings, Masters ....  You know Kev, those big Australian Hardware Chains that you drive past on the way to Northern Abrasives.  [big grin]

Look for the displays of Prestige Cabinet Connecters.

Sadly I do everything I can to avoid sending my hard earned through corporations that are owned publicly. With some things you just can't avoid it.

I have a whole bunch of those bolts buried somewhere among the debris of my shop.  I think I got them from rockler many moons ago.

They called them "Barrel Bolts".  They came with a little round barrel shaped nut on the end.  I got a bunch of them when I was building a workbench and was planning to make a bunk bed for a friend. They are handy for anywhere you might need to retighten along the way.  also, anywhere you need a bolt buried completely within the project As RMW said, they are handy for a lot of shop stuff. I have seen them listed elsewhere as "Connector Bolts".

I need less than 12 of the nickel 1/4-20 bolts in approximately 20mm length.  Do you know of a source where I can buy them in short lengths in small quantities?  The woodworking stores do have them, but not that short.

I took your earlier suggestion and googled, but the results all seem to be manufacturers or distributors that sell in quantities of 1,000.

Thanks, Mike A.

Thanks!  I added 10 (the minimum number) to the cart to see what happened and it took it fine.  Only $1.19 for ten of them.  No mention that I see of a minimum order dollar amount, but I think I'll look at other stuff I might need anyway and put it all on one order.

Thanks, Mike A.
