Black fasteners

Post by dasein668 »

An odd question... anyone know a source for black fasteners? Like the sort that generally come with electrical equipment. Not sure if they are powder coated or what.

Not a big deal... I could certainly use standard fasteners, but the black ones would be nice...

I found some on the Paneltronics website. They have a few different sizes, and pan or flat head in black. Scroll down the list to view.

You could probably get them from Blue Seas or similar as well.

Thanks, but those are too short, and I also need self-tappers as well as machine screws.

But, d'uh... McMaster Carr has fasteners in the following materials: Type 316 Stainless Steel?| 18-8 Stainless Steel?| Black-Oxide Finish 18-8 Stainless Steel?| Nonstick PTFE-Coated 18-8 Stainless Steel??| Brass?| Zinc-Plated Steel?| Painted Plain Steel?| Aluminum?| Titanium?| Silicon Bronze?| Nylon?| Black Nylon?| PTFE?| Clear Polycarbonate

I think the Black Oxide Finish is what I'm looking for.
