Spade bolts

[William Lockwood]

John, the things you are looking for are called spade bolts. Keystone
Electronics Corp. is the manufacturer and has them listed under catalog #
1259 for 6-32 thread and 1260 for 8-32. Keystone can be reached at (718)
956-8900.
If you can find an electronics retailer dealing in Keystone stuff they can
probably get you some. If you only need a few pieces and if you have a
friendly neighborhood retailer they can get you samples to get to get around
the minimum order requirement.

Regards, Bill
