[sdiy] switch nuts

[mark verbos]

wait a second here. what does 1/4-40 mean anyway? I just noticed that the Keystone "Switch Nuts" (now your nuts are all I can think of Harry, thanks.) are not only 15/32-32 but 26¢ each, making the place that had them for 19¢ a better deal. I'm thinking I will just buy the 19¢ C&K brand ones and be done with it, I mean 39¢ is still a really good price for a C&K mini toggle switch.

amazing how unorganized this stuff really is. I mean, why doesn't the whole world use the same metric system for everything. This reminds me of the guy I met in Switzerland who didn't put the rack ears on his E6400 when he bought it, then lost the screws. He couldn't find the right screws anywhere because they were imperial thread and he several times ordered some from the US only for them not to fit! ha.

Yo,

If these are indeed the 1/4" bushing type, the C&K
datasheet lists the thread as a 1/4-40 NEF. Check out
McMaster-carr 91862A517.
