Does anyone know of a source for M6 stainless t-nuts?

All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

When I replaced out my phillip head heel screws with stainless steel bolts I used teflon tape to secure as well as insurance for oxidation.

...as so often the answer is in the carver's almanac in the parts (http://alpinecarving.com/parts.html) section.

Thanks for the pointers. I finally found them on McMasterCarr. They are under tee nuts and not t-nuts which throws off the search engine over there. Anyway, they don't have stainless in metric so I am going with the zinc plated ones and I'll hope there isn't too much corrosion.

Thanks,

Bob is right about going standard. You can find stainless T nuts at your local Ace Hardware. I just did that today to replace the cuff cant adjustsment nuts and screws to my UPZ's.
