Steve,
 
I looked at their on-line catalog (long stud not listed) and sent them an  
e-mail. I received a response saying that the long stud with machine screw  
bottom was not produced currently !
 
They are just not made in US right now though they are available (and I  
assume made) in the UK as the machine screw is 2BA.
 
I'm looking for a US source and other than an old stash, it looks like  I'll 
have to buy a handful from the UK

Jim,

Sorry to hear that.  I bought a lot of stainless  fasteners (including sheet 
metal screws and dimpled washers),  the long  "lift-a-dot" (DOT fasteners, 
both lift and pull the dot) machine screw  fasteners, from my local Marine 
Supply 
store.  They specialized in  pleasure small boats, and these were used for 
tarp/cockpit cover  fasteners.  They have the round head type, as well.

Dot  Fasteners Direct listing of nickel, brass, and stainless fasteners in  
machine 8/32 machine screw and self tapping screws can be found  at:

_http://www.dotfastenersdirect.com/catalog.html_ 
(http://www.dotfastenersdirect.com/catalog.html) 
Click  "Lift The DOT: Screw Studs" on the Catalog Index.

They also  have the round button type caps and sockets, but these are the 
MANUFACTURER  and sell in large quantities (100 - 1000).  I am sure they will 
tell  you of your local stocking retailer for the product you want.  BUT the  
100 
pack stainless 8/32 is $31.50 for a 100 pack.  They ALL appear to  have 
nickel studs, though.

Hello,

 

Marine stores in my town, Marblehead, Mass (surrounded by ocean with  lots 

and lots of such places) do not have the long Lift-the-Dot" long studs with  

machine screw bottom fixing.

 

And there are no marine suppliers, including Lift-the -Dot US manufacturing  

company currently supplying the marine people with same.

 

Any other ideas?
