I have a piece of electronics gear that attaches to a mounting bracket using #8-32 hex screws with a 3/8" shank. I want to replace these with knurled thumb screws. All I need is 4 of them, but my local hardware store doesn't carry anything like that. I looked online and found some at Amazon, but they want nearly $18 for 10 of them.

Can anyone think of a good source for something like that? If so, let me know.

Thanks.
 
Wonder what size the tool-free screws are on the back of computer cases? Those come in small quantities for under $5.
You might find them locally at a Radio Shack or computer store so you don't get hit for shipping.
 
Thanks for the pointers, guys.

I was able to get what I'm looking for from smallparts with no sales tax, and I got free two-day shipping because I'm an Amazon Prime member. I was actually just trying to find out what the shipping would be from smallparts when it brought me to the Amazon login screen. Then I saw that my Amazon Prime membership was going to be honored by them. I was kind of surprised.

Every now and then, this internet shopping thing really works out for me. :thumbup:
