Looking for 10MM bolts for use in IBM racks

[Draugauth]

Looking for both the bolts and the clip on nuts. I can take pictures and post if requested to make identifying them easier.

Thanks in advance.

I think your looking for “clip nuts”.
How much distance do you need from the inside of the clip to the center of the nut?
Dose it matter if the clip to nut is a little deeper than what is needed?

Might check http://www.grainger.com/
Last time I needed IBM screws they had some 10mm machine screws.

Pics please, also local hardware store might have something near what you need.
Ace, Lowes, Home Depot.

This is the type of bolt I am looking for.

On the head where you see it cut it is a flathead/phillips head inside the socket head.

This is the type of clip I'm looking for.

Again thanks in advance. I need to go to Lowes to buy some things so I'll see what they have.

Hopefully this helps: my favorite place to buy bolts and such is www.fastenal.com. They have stores in some areas. There is one about 20 minutes from me but the hours do not allow me to visit unless I want to take time off from my own job which I do not, so I usually just order online.

Those are more like M6x 1.25, if even that. It may be a 10mm head socket- but that is not the thread size.
We have a ton of those, I will ask purchasing in the AM where they are ordered. I know we buy some emergency packs from Amazon.

Just a heads up, check grainger or mcmcaster car next time- or a local Ace hardware. All will be cheaper then fastenal.

The Spyder: Any word?

The clips I can find alright. It's the style of bolt that is the PITA to find. Seeing as it's a socket/flathead/phillips head style one.

They should be standard square holes. You can use standard caged nuts such as these:

I have an IBM rack in my office and it came with those same exact clips and flat-headed screws, but for anything additional I've used the "standard" ones without a problem.
