Need help in identifying a supplier for a cap-type nut.

[sndog]

I am trying to locate a supplier for these. They are an M6 thread and go to Osculati port windows. When I had my guys remove the windows for powder coating, they dropped multiple of these into the water of course. I think I am going to need around 50 of them. If they are cheap enough, which I doubt, I would just buy all new ones. Thank you in advance as always

They are commonly known as "sex nuts" in the fastener business. McMaster Carr has a pretty full selection of them in Metric and 316.

I always called them barrel bolts. I’d have trouble going in somewhere and asking for sex nuts.

I have known them as barrel nuts also.

Try McMaster Carr. They sell online.

Depends a bit on where you ask that question! On McMaster, searching for either barrel bolts or sex nuts will yield the same result.

Thank you. Will start searching, it appears sex bolts is the accurate term.

Your search might be as short as clicking on the link in my first post.....
