Nickel Plated Oval Head Screws

Thanks, Lew!

Well, the supplier is in England so I was hoping to avoid that route, and the local (apparently indecent) hardware stores don't have the oval head variety.

But I'll keep looking!

Are you telling me you served as your own importer?

If not, check with the importer.

I'd be willing to wager some serious money that you have at least one good hardware store within 30 miles, unless you reside on the moon.

Roy,

Thanks for the lead. I'm a big fan of McFeely's and the jamestown place looks great! Neither lists nickel plated on their site, but it's worth an email to customer service!

Cheers, Jas> >

Lol, no, Lew, of course not.

Unfortunately, the kitchen & bath place where I purchased the fixtures gave me the "we'll have to check on it" nonsense. This is what I get for buying top-shelf imported stuff. I almost (almost) wish I had bought the chrome-plated plastic junk from Home Depot. Almost.

Can relate to the off shore products comments.

You would be surprised how much yacht hardware comes from Europe, the UK, NZ and OZ.

Start looking for a good local hardware store.

They will have a packaged assortment of various specialty fasteners including nickel plated oval.

Jamestown will have oval head S/S, but by the box of 100.

Good luck.

I'd still be tempted to solve my problem with the supplier.

By definition, they qualify.

Both McMaster Carr and MSC Direct have a vast selection of screws.

McFeely's does list #6 x 5/8" Nickel Plated Slide Mounting Screw
