    Hobby Lobby has bulk stuff in the back of their catalogs.  Don't know
    the number, but they're in Brentwood, TN.

    That's the second reference to them I've gotten today (one in the
    woodworking notesfile where they were talking about Am-fast in
    Worcester MA) I never seem to get past all the beautiful gliders in the
    front (from Graupner) I guess I'll have to check it out when I get home.

    The Nylon screws mentioned in 124.45 were bought from Berg, an
    industrial supplier.  But the prices after postage are higher than what
    you just mentioned; in my 1988 catalog (pg 425) the Nylon machine
    screws are 18 to 20 cents each in sizes 4-40, 6-32, and 8-32.  I think
    I paid 15 or 20% higher than that and then added in the postage.

    The Tru-Value hardware chain carries Nylon machine screws in 6-32 and
    8-32; maybe 4-40; but not 2-56, and not in socket cap heads.  Any
    hardware store should be able to special order by the box.

    I need more screws myself; I'll split boxes with you if you wish.  If
    you mail order, beware of back order situations.  Unlike the hobby mail
    order shops that "eat the shipping" on back orders, a place like Berg
    will ship out a $3 back order and let you pay the few dollars of
    shipping on it.  I paid dearly for my Nylon 2-56 bolts.  But they did
    carry them and all sorts of other screws not available locally, e.g.
    0-80 socket head steel cap screws with a Nyloc insert!  (Yes, at a buck
    apiece!)

    Thanks Al. My sister-in-law works at a local hardware store and I'll have 
    her check into it for me. I've been using the 4-40 bolts on the Gnome and
    more recently on a little .049 bipe (that I WILL rebuild. It was too much
    fun!) and I'd like to use the 6-32s for landing gear on my Panic and others.
    I was planning on getting a box of 100 of each since at 2-4 per wack, I'll 
    use them soon enough. I'll post the prices once I find out about it.

    Thanks. My sister-in-laws store doesn't deal with the previous supplier so
    I'm off to find a Tru-Value store near home. I'll give these guys a try 
    also. I looked in the New Hobby Lobby catalog I got a few months back 
    and they DON'T list any bulk nylon bolts (anymore?). The new Tower catalog
    just came in and they don't even list 4-40 and 6-32 bolts bulk or otherwise.
    The ones I've been getting are Ace or Sig. Anybody got one of those catalogues
    around so we can find out their price also? I'll keep checking out the 
    commercial suppliers since I feel that a non-hobby source will be cheaper.

    Just to wrap this note up.
    
    I got my nylon bolts this weekend. I had asked for 1/2" to 1" long 4-40
    and 6-32 bolts. I ended up with 100 4-40x1/2" and 100 6-32x5/8" bolts
    for $5 total. Since the packages of 4 are $.65, this seems like a
    pretty good deal. My local Ace hardware store ordered them from their
    supplier. Stock up in the off season when the wait isn't a problem
    
    I use the 4-40 bolts for glider wing (Gnome) hold downs and the 6-32s
    for landing gear bolts.

    Are these steel? Socket head?
    

    NYLON.
    
    (It's sorta like plastic ;^) One of those magical "White man" materials
    that always baffles the Injun's ;^) ;^)
    
    Sorry, couldn't resist
    Pan head, single slot (not Phillips) nylon wing bolts. Small diameter
    for HLS and breakaway landing gears

    When you started talking about 4-40 and 6-32, I figured it had to be
    steel bolts, as I haven't seen nylon versions in the catalogues other
    than 1/4" wing hold-down bolts.
    
    Sooo, I fig'ged ya wuz, like the rest of 'em pale faces, speaking with
    forked tongue about STEEL bolts under a NYLON bolt note. Obviously, I
    gave you too much credit to think ya wuz normal.
    
    Next time, you should read the fully worked out examples by George Bush
    (Chapter 1: No New Taxes), before posting, so I don't get confused.
    
    :-)

    Sorry for confusing you by adhering to the topic title. ;^) ;^)
    
    Maybe Al can move it somewhere more obscure so you have it for easy
    reference ;^) ;^)
    
    BTW: the ones I've been buying in packages of 4 are from Sig but I
    haven't seen one of their catalogues since the 70's

    Re: .10, Ajai,
    
    George Bush never said "No new taxes."  What he _really_ said was....
    "No nude Texans!"
    
    BTW, nylon bolts and screws are available in just about any size down
    to 2-56.
