#10-32 Eye Bolts, Source?

[PufferNut]

Tried to find some of these to rig up a DIY hanger for my new Vega, not alot of luck, seems all the ones I find are cast and bulky, as opposed to the bent wire style, that I can only find in #10-24. I about ready to just make my own, but figured someone may know a source.

The only ones I find there are ceramic lined. They would work, but I can get cast stainless ones for about half the cost. Don't know why i didn't think to look on mcmaster, they have everything.

Lowes/HD doesn't carry something like this?

McMaster can be kinda pricey.

Every place I look, even online, a simple machine thread eye bolt always seems to be 10-24, but the vega is tapped for 10-32. I have a die already, guess I just gotta get some stock and get creative with the vice.

What size eye bolt do you want? Mcmaster lists tons of 10-32 threaded ones...?

 

[PufferNut]

Perhaps I'm doing it wrong, but when i go into eye bolts and set the thread to 10-32 they give me only an option of 2 ceramic lined ones. Tons of options in 10-24... Looking for about 1" long, eye size not really important,just need to hook light cable or chain to it.

Open, or closed eye?

 

[PufferNut]

closed eye prefered.

Well you're not crazy... They're apparently hard to find. Maybe these will help?

I just went through this whole exercise with no luck. As a matter of fact, I found this thread doing a Google search for "10 32 eye bolts".

I give credit to the design genius that isn't a coincidence, but does what it's supposed to do and steer you to the $40 hanging kits.

Reef crashed, haven't been on here in a while as a result. I ended up building my own hangers from some #10-32 all thread and shelf brackets.
