Stepper size? Yes, "plastic" nuts. I just looked in my BSA catalog, and
LO! The word "Turcite" is indeed not there! They call 'em "Supernuts".
(Probably due to their hiring policies?). The name "Turcite" refers to the
same PTFE ("Teflon") stuff with glass fibers molded in it. It is durable
stuff.

You are right, the bronze is not sold in preloaded form.

E-mail 'em and ask BSA to send you [current replacement of] their Cat. Nr. 94
!!!

They do inch and metric ACME and Ball-screws, with lotsa different "fixing"
methods. Fat ol' catalog! Educational!
