Just saying..


They do have the correct length without having to cut or file them off.

Or some folks might, just maybe, choose to polish them to a mirror finish.

Available in stainless also and those can be polished as well and will never get dull over time like aluminum.

I tried Lowe’s today with no luck. I will try Home Depot and Ace Hardware tomorrow.

I need some of these too. Home Depot, Lowes, etc - no one sells these that I can find. The acorn style from Spruce are completely different but will work. I like the originals, but $30 each is ridiculous. I went with acorn nuts (they are plastic) for like $2.50 each (which is also outrageous).

I am not sure how easy it would be to cut down a panel nut like that - pretty tiny!
