Hey, looking for 8-32 eyenuts as the title says. Did a search here and of online vendors and didn't find any. I can go a different way, but would rather use these if they are available. Thanks!
I searched and couldn't find an #8-32 eye bolt with a shoulder. I could only find the bent eyes (#8 wire bent into a circle) for that small of a thread. If you drill and tap a bent eye to #8-32 there will be no material left. You could start with a 1/4" eye bolt with a shoulder. Then you end up with an extra-heavy duty wire eye nut with a small thread.One other option, buy the 8-32 eye bolt, cut off the bolt drill and tap to 8-32
My mistake, assumed there were some with a shoulder, Sorry . The metric option drilled and tapped or make your own from rod or even key stockI searched and couldn't find an #8-32 eye bolt with a shoulder.

I got these as part of an e-bay kit from Mach1 Rocketry, not exactly what you're looking for, but close
A six pack and 3 feet of Alaly rod made mine. Took him about 20 mins on the side to fab. 8/32 drilled with a chamfered top and hole big enuff for a small quick link or kevlar. Made me 3 10/24's while he was at it. Sorry no pics, on the road.8-32 eyebolts exist but I have not seen eyenuts. I have searched in the past and I would some some 8-32 ones. I've debated making some as it is not too complex to do with a mill and a lathe but it would be time consuming.
