I'm looking for a good online source for screws, nuts, and whatnot. Where do people get those aluminum things that are like washers, but they fit a flathead screw?? A lot of them are anodized different colors. What are those called?

Thanks!

Wow, Thanks!

I knew it was fastener something.

OK since we are on this subject I have tried 3 times to replace the nylon nuts on the front axles on the l4 I would like to have lock nuts to replace with but I can't find the right size thread or what ever, either way I haven't been able to replace them yet.

i think they are 5-40

How about 4-40 nylon screws for the servo tabs? Anyone know where to find some?

check the link to fastener express

www.mcmaster.com also a good screw source, i replace the screws in my car in high use areas with torex (6point star) they have more contact and hold up longer in my opinion.

Gee, I thought I was the only one in the world that thought those Torx fasteners were worth buying (they are kind of expensive...).

Racers edge sells those washers that fit under countersunk screws. They come in a ton of colors too.

fastener express looks like they're pretty hard to beat. I didn't think these little bolts and nuts were so expensive!! It doesn't help that most of the fasteners are in a box of 100.

Where on Fastener's site do you find the 4-40 screws. All they say is 3mm or 4mm???

Thanks

The nylon nuts are lousy for front axles so I switched to steel lock nuts. Associated sells them 4 to a pack for real cheap. They are originally packaged to be diff nuts for dirt buggies. And yes thay are 5-40. I was trying to find them for the longest time and them I found them at a local track. Hope that helps.
