Sometimes it just don’t pay off

[Cane Pole]

Cane pole, If you have a "Fastenal' store anywhere near you, they will have what you need.

Yep. There is one in Paris, 20 miles from my residence. I have been there numerous times. I scrounged around and found a couple of M5 40 mm and gave them a haircut with my dremel.

Sometimes the Fastenal in Paris will not sell single pieces.

I could tap the M5 t nuts to a 1/4 20, but that would be pushing the drop in t nuts I have on hand.

I went to a big city Walmart the other day looking for a grease gun. I asked the guy working there where I could find them and he looked at me like I was crazy and said "we don't sell machine guns". True story.

I dug through my belt bins and found these. Will this work for you? If so PM me your address.

Thanks for the offer. I dug up some M5 40s and cut them down.

That's one of the things I miss about retirement. After working in a power plant for 35+ years I had a limitless supply of any bolt/nut in about any size that is made. I can still get them but have to make a special trip there to get anything. Which always turns into a 3hr. bullchit session. LOL
