Nope.. McMaster doesn't have the correct size.  One of the first places I 
checked today.  Of all places to not have it.. Oh well, looks like I will 
have to sit on my thumbs and wait for Hy-Gain.  I spent about five hours 
google searching, phone calls, and emails.  Nobody has eyebolts that even 
remotely match the specs I need.  I did find a few that have eyebolt's that 
have a 3/16" inside eye diameter, McMaster lists some as well, but they are 
not machine thread eyebolts but the lag type for going into wood.

I also found one place that has the right size eyebolts, 3/16" diameter eye, 
but they are plain old soft steel and will likely rust faster than 
imaginable.
