I need (3) nylon M4x0.7 metric machine screws, would LIKE to get them locally TODAY. I can order a pack of 100 from Mcmaster for $10 but don’t want to wait 2 days if I don’t have to… I tried grainger’s website and they want $34 for a pack of 250, no listings for individual screws… fastenal only carries SAE thread nylon screws… tried radio shack’s site, advance auto parts, etc… anyone? ---

McMaster is always next day for me, not 2-day. Sorry I don’t have any other suggestions. ---

You say “etc.” but did you try Valu? You’d be surprised at their plastic hardware selection. You’ll have to go there though. ---

I ordered the 100pk on Mcmaster, but I’ll check Valu…can’t be just plastic though, that will crack with the heat of the engine(this is for the XS650)…have to be nylon. I’ve discovered that the safety relay on my bike is no good and have bypassed it, and also found the regulator to be the cause of blowing fuses, so I’ve swapped in a combo regulator/rectifier unit and in order to run this the fellows on [XS650.com](http://XS650.com) say I have to swap the screws holding the brush contacts to the stator housing to nylon to de-ground them. ---

ace hardware on grandisland has a huge bolt section and even the sears hardware at delaware and sherdin is not bad. I know they carry some non metal hardware.
