    Default WTD: 4 size MSS Bolt Snaps

    I am looking for four size "MSS" stainless steel bolt snaps. My usual supplier, Doug Nix, is out of stock. Drawing here: http://www.nixdogcollars.com/nixdogcollars/MSS.html

    TIA.

    I started buying this kind of stuff from my local Ace Hardware. They have brass or SS at about 20% of what you'd pay at at a dive shop. Home Depot or Lowes should also have a good supply in all sizes.

    Nope. The MSS is not a common size. Its easy enough to find larger or smaller, but I've had no luck matching this one. If I can't find it, I'll compromise, but I figured I'd ask around first.

    BTW, Nix is not a dive shop. Prices are very good and to date, the quality of product has been excellent as well.

    This "Extra Large Swivel Bolt Snap" looks to be it, give or take 1/8":

    Thanks. A bit too long. The eye is close, though, and that's the part that I really want to match up. This might be my compromise selection if I can't find an exact match. For only a few, I can deal with the cost. The MSS cost less than half that when I got them from Nix.

    I do think that's the size that comes with the Dive-Rite stage kit.
