I don't know what it takes to shock you,

every time I get to spend retail money to buy things I already have
THOUSANDS of, I get shocked...it's more the gas and time 'killed'

but McMaster's price seems
reasonable to me. Figure another $5 or so for delivery. Note that 1.25
is *not* the standard pitch for M12.
okey-dokey ned. but it IS the correct pitch and size to fasten a hitch
to the frame of my nissan frontier

thanks ned "good find"

yeah, guess I'll need to add the dern things to my McM order. keep
-hoping- to find a nearby 'hardware hoarder-swapper' guy, but it might
never happen...

ya KNOW how it works: you can have ninety percent of all the fasteners
ever known to man, in nearly all sizes, but, the ones you need you
-don't- have...
