I am looking for a wholesale seller of a 10/32 allen head truss rod nut that is about 3/4" long. I have been unable to locate this from MSC, etc. although I may be looking in the wrong place. LMI has what I want at $3.55 each but I want 100 at a time and $3.55+ each is just too pricey for me! Can anybody help? |

Sylvan, I sell some that are custom made. They are a bit shorter at 5/8 inch but are 10/32 thread and use a 3/16 hex key. If you were buying 100 I could sell for the same as Stew Mac, well maybe a couple cents cheaper at $2.35 and it includes a nice brass washer. Here is a picture of the nut and of it on a rod with a hex key inserted. 
Hope this gives you another useful option. Thanks Shane |

You bet, just e-mail or PM me if you think you want some. They are quite nice! I think that the allen key is bit larger on these ones compared to the Stew Mac ones, that helps out also. Shane |

Sylvan - I make 10-32 brass nuts, from either 1/4 or 5/16 hex stock, like a traditional Gibson or Taylor would use. Could make you some - hit me with an e-mail. . . |

Come on guys, can't we get Frank Ford's "Forum Newbie" tag upgraded to something more appropriate? |

But what kind of example does it set to cut in front of the line.

Yeah, but Frank's always been at the front of the line...the rest of us just didn't see him from so far back!

Sylvan, A couple of years ago I got some 10 X 32 1/4" hex nuts online.I forget the name of the company, but they sent me a dozen for samples. If you Google "Hex Standoff Spacers" you will get all kinds of choices. Hope this helps. |

Jimmy - Thanks for the thought but the truss rod design I want to try with my instruments mandates that it be adjusted with an allen wrench. The spacers I think you are talking about would work great if I could get a wrench on them to adjust but I cannot. An allen wrench through a hole in the transverse brace is all I've got to work with! |

Gotcha!  After I reread your post, I saw that you needed one you could use an allen wrench on. |
