I need a 9/32 x 20 tpi *stainless steel screw preferably with a socket head.
I just had my wife order some 303 stock to make one from scratch, but its a
real PITA to make a socket head. If anyone knows of such an animal, where
could I order?

The original manufacturer? Sure it isn't metric? Much of the medical
equipment I've run into lately has had metric threads. Would be
approximately 7mm-.8, which is not standard, 7-.75 is. The inch
thread you ask for is a ******* size, nothing standard. I'd redrill
and tap it to 8mm fine pitch, which you can find just about
everywhere.
