All,

I'll be needing some small screws & nuts for weather-exposed use (like
antenna) and am looking for a stainless steel supply of such. My
electronics catalogs don't offer them and the home stores have some
large bolts only. I like a store to go to, but next, a mailorder house
would be OK.

A tip I received about working w/ aluminum and joining it to a
dissimilar metal is to only use stainless fasteners and never allow two
dissimilar metals direct contact but to use a stainless washer to
separate them. Makes sense.

One Web site I found for them at a nice price/100 is here. Any comments
about Bosunsupplies?
