Does No One Make 6-32 Stainless Steel Hex Nuts Outside PRC?

 Amazon, Tacoma Screw, McMaster-Carr, no luck.  Tacoma Screw did have Taiwaneae made.

    That's the sort of thing I would look for at fastenal, there might even be local stock at their retail desk local to you.

  3. McMaster Carr has just about everything. Also check the marine suppliers like West Marine or Defender or (though they will likely be more expensive for smaller quantities)

    You won't find 304 or 318 stainless steel, but since you aren't in salt water that probably doesn't matter (Always made me mad that the fasteners would rust in salt water environments...)

  5. Grainger has US-made 6-32 Stainless Steel Hex Nuts, but only special forms: cap nut, thumb nut, lock nut, and flange nut.
