Good day to all. I'm on the tail end of a project and I find that I can't seem to find=20 the machine screws that I want. This is an XLR audio connector patch panel and we are using standard=20 Neutrik chassis-mount audio connectors. Because we want these things=20 to look relatively pretty, we are using connectors with black shells=20 mounted onto black panels. Therefore, it would be really nice if the=20 screws that hold the connectors to the panel were also black. We need two different screws: 1) 4-40 x 3/8" flat-head with either Robertson or Phillips head 2) 6-32 / 3/8" round-head or binding head, preferably with the same=20 drive as above. I'm looking for on-going production quantities. My initial order=20 will be for 12,000 of the 4-40 screws and 1000 of the 6-32 screws,=20 all in black. I know that Asian-made consumer electronics gear is covered with=20 black-painted screws but I'll be darned if I can find a supplier. We are just finalizing the metalwork right now and I do have the=20 option to change to metric thread instead of SAE if we really have=20 to. However, my preference is to stay with the SAE threads that I=20 mention above. Suggestions for suppliers gratefully accepted.
