Got your attention, long story short, I'm in need of 3 self aligning machine screws that are 1/4 28thread & 2 1/2 length. I've had the hardest time finding them, spent all weekend long between Home Depot, Menards, Lowes and ACE. No one caries 28 thread. the ones that do only have 2 inch length, just too short. There are some 3 inch out there, but are not threaded all the way, so it wont make sense shortening them. Just figure if anyone out there has this item avaialble, let me know. I've searched on-line, but no luck yet.
