[Repeater-Builder] Motorola style rack speed nuts and screws
The subject says it all but I'm looking for a source for stainless speednuts and screws such as the ones that came with CompaStation racks. (looking for around 50 sets) The usual sources (like HomeDepot and various hardware chains) only have the crappy ferrous spring steel types.

The speed nuts you refer to are actually called tinnerman nuts at Motorola.

All of the compa racks I've seen used spring seel stampings from Tinnerman. You might think they are crappy, but they are inherently vibration resistant. What I think you might be thinking of are cage nuts: http://www.cablesandkits.com/rack-mount-cage-nuts-with-screws-1032-qty-100-p-1120.html The subject says it all but I'm looking for a source for stainless speednuts and screws such as the ones that came with CompaStation racks.

The crappy ferrous ones I spoke of before look like their stamped out of 24 gauge steel, then tempered. The Motorola ones I've seen look like they're made from 10 gauge stainless and are much beefier. Have a look (obviously the stainless one is on the right): http://www.arcomcontrollers.com/clips.jpg Ken -- President and CTO - Arcom Communications Makers of repeater controllers and accessories. http://www.arcomcontrollers.com/ Authorized Dealers for Kenwood and Telewave and we offer complete repeater packages!
