Black carriage bolts

[Hawkweber]

Does anyone (in USA) know where I can buy black carriage bolts to mount the control panel joysticks?  I've tried the Home Depot but all they have are large silver colored ones and I need black, about 3/16" diameter, and about 1 inch long.

"Nut 10-24 hex w/SEMS - Subtract $0.10" from your store. Anyways from elsewhere on the net

SEMS
A screw and washer assembly. A screw or bolt which has a captive washer. The washer is frequently loose on the plain shank of the fastener, the shank diameter being equal to the effective diameter of the thread; the thread being rolled from this diameter. The origin of the word is a frequent question. In the 1930's E. C. Crowther was a representative for a company that sold both shakeproof washers and screws. He came up with the idea of placing the washer on the screw before it was thread rolled. The major diameter of the screw being larger than the washer hole prevents it from coming off. The Illinois Tool Works made machines that produced these patented pre-asSEMbled washers and screws. The s at the end of SEMs is thought to have been subsequently picked up because they are not usually purchased individually. In spite of the original patents and trademarks the word SEMS is generally recognised as a generic term applicable to screw and washer assemblies.

Also see SEMS. In this case it most likely has an attached but free spinning star washer. All mine do anyway. I got mine Here.
