Looking for 8-32 eyenuts

[PatD]

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 looked on McMaster-Carr and the smallest size eye nut it shows on there is 1/4". I'm inclined to think #8 eye nuts don't exist if McMaster doesn't have them.

Thanks, yeah I also looked there but was hoping someone might have a lead for me.

A variety of sellers on AliExpress have eye nuts and eye bolts down to M3.

You can get 3mm eye nuts on Amazon. The hole is small enough so you could drill and tap them for 8-32...very simple.

Go to E rigging .com

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.

One other option, buy the 8-32 eye bolt, cut off the bolt drill and tap to 8-32

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.

I got these as part of an e-bay kit from Mach1 Rocketry, not exactly what you're looking for, but close

Not sure of your application..or skill sets..Make your own from 1/4 - 3/8" rod..drill and tap to 8-32 and drill a hole for the eye?

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 stock

M4 is as near as matters the same diameter as #8. Just buy M4 eye nuts off fleabay, Amazon, or AliExpress and get on with the build.

Thanks for the recommendations! Appreciate it.

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.

Thanks guys. I was looking for the 8-32 eyenuts because I already had the rod. I went with 4mm rod and eyenuts because they are easily located.
