McMaster Carr sells 5/8" at $1.27 an inch and single race nuts for
between $25 and $35 USD.

they do not sell the AB nuts, so you would have to make your own by
using two nuts.

And, the screws are rolled, not ground. Huge difference in surface
finish. I have both and was not pleasantly surprized when I saw the
McMaster screws.



BSA sells both kinds, priced appropriately.
