That’s such a bummer. I found a few but none were brands I’d ever heard of before. I gravitate towards Schaller hardware and they only have the same ol’ same ol’. I may have to find a ratted out something or other with the hardware I want and just scavenge.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2023-11-09T12:34:42.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/hardware/962179/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"pcarter","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/pcarter"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"\n\n

It doesn’t appear anybody does. None of the majors anyway. Whatever is out there that has it must be either special runs, custom machined or something. I don’t know. Certainly not readily available.<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2023-11-14T15:07:19.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/hardware/962179/5","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"pcarter","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/pcarter"}}]}}
