Can anyone help?

In Yellow pages, look up "Fasteners" and when you call, I think they refer

McMaster-Carr (http://www.mcmaster.com) is also a great online source of
materials. They have ½" hex x 1.125"L coupling nuts in your choice of
either 18-8 or 316 stainless steel:

18-8 = PN 90268A335 = $2.82 USD each
316 = PN 90104A012 = $17.36 USD each
