What you might try is a sleeve nut or a motorcycle spoke nut re tapped to  
the correct thread in the length you need. HTH

Jim,

Sorry to hear that.  I bought a lot of stainless  fasteners (including 
sheet metal screws and dimpled washers),  the  long "lift-a-dot" (DOT 
fasteners, both lift and pull the dot) machine  screw fasteners, from my 
local Marine Supply store.  They specialized  in pleasure small boats, 
and these were used for tarp/cockpit cover  fasteners.  They have the 
round head type, as well.

Dot  Fasteners Direct listing of nickel, brass, and stainless fasteners 
in  machine 8/32 machine screw and self tapping screws can be found  at:

http://www.dotfastenersdirect.com/catalog.html
Click "_Lift The  DOT: Screw Studs_" on the Catalog Index.

They also have the round  button type caps and sockets, but these are the 
MANUFACTURER and sell in  large quantities (100 - 1000).  I am sure they 
will tell you of your  local stocking retailer for the product you want.  
BUT the 100 pack  stainless 8/32 is $31.50 for a 100 pack.  They ALL 
appear to have  nickel studs, though.
