My hardware purchases include inch-thread nuts as well as metric slot hardware. Keeping the thread family identifiable matters when small parts look very similar in a tray.
I bought Number-10-24 Stainless Hex Nuts as part of my camper van equipment.
My hardware purchases include inch-thread nuts as well as metric slot hardware. Keeping the thread family identifiable matters when small parts look very similar in a tray.
Identifying the Inch Thread Before Selecting a Nut
The light-bar rack connection used quarter-twenty hardware.
The smaller extrusion used M5 fasteners as a separate group.
My wider hardware kit also included number-ten-24 stainless nuts.
The profiles and joint hardware during my roof-mount assembly.The drilled connectors and fasteners joining my added extrusion to the roof rack.
My Takeaway from This Job
The thread designation is the defining distinction for this purchase. All three options below use number-ten-24 threads and an external hex, making these same-thread supplier and package choices.
Keep number-ten-24 separate from quarter-twenty and metric threads.

The twenty-four designation is part of the inch-thread identity of this nut. Keep it beside the number-ten size when sorting small hardware rather than choosing a nut by outside appearance. For a van bracket repair, record the bolt thread and length with the matching nut and washers. That makes the connection easier to reproduce and keeps these inch-thread pieces separate from the nearby M5 and M6 selections in the same fastener collection.
