Thanks for that. Up until last week, the only way to find black 8-32 screws of any size was to buy unfinished aluminum and have them anodized individually at a great expense. It cost me over $60 to buy 100 screws and get them anodized black, and I was hoping to recover some of my costs to have it done by selling a few of the kits here and on eBay. What you see on eBay is the actual cost of the items that are in the restoration screw and nut kit—no more, no less.

I'm glad that Fasteners Express is finally selling black machine screws, but it's unfortunate that I nagged them for almost 2 years without any luck—to only take on the project myself, then to have them finally step up to the plate. :x


Then again, at their prices and quantities, you're still going to cough up about $40 to get the screws you need for one JRX2.
