One other source for AN hardware I=E2=80=99ve used many times is =
Wicksaircraft.com <http://wicksaircraft.com/>.

Nyloc nuts are available in half-heights and there are many other items =
available =E2=80=94 roll pins, close-tolerance bolts, Tinnerman nuts, =
Dzus fastener hardware, castellated nuts to use with drilled bolts, etc.
