7" Stainless Steel Screw, Anyone?

[SuzySailor]

We have removed our genoa tracks because the heads were popping off the screws-yikes- and now are having trouble finding replacements. Anybody know where we can find 1/4-20 x 7" Stainless Steel flat-head machine screws? We need 74. A 6mm x 190mm would also work. If you can point us in the direction of a supplier, I'd be grateful. I've checked Defender, Hamilton, Jamestown, West Marine, Bolt Depot, MSC, and about a hundred others....

Try Chesapeake Fasteners in Annapolis. Good Luck.

I think you want an industrial/commercial fastener supply house. I think you definitely don't want to pay for 74 stainless steel "marine" screws, 1/4-20 x 7" (See the thread "We're getting hosed" for the reason why.)

Call Bo'sun Supplies (www.bosunsupplies.com), They can probably get them for you.

Believe there was a thread on long screws about two weeks ago that you should look for. .
