Question Vinyl nuts and bolts locally

Does anyone know a local (Nassau or Suffolk) place to buy vinyl (plastic) nuts and bolts?

Thanks,
Frank

Do you know where in HD they have them? I've looked in the one by me (South Setauket) and can't find them.

Hardware isle where all screws, nails etc. are located.
Normally they are in drawers, if you don't see them ask someone in the department to show you.

I think youre looking for Nylon nuts and bolts, ( I could be wrong) I dont think I've ever seen vinyl hardware.

FYI..anyone who is running a submerged Mag pump may want to consider replacing the housing screws with nylon.......there were a few threads on the screws rusting and possibly causing problems.
