I am trying to locate a supplier of black brass machine screws for my
panel. I'd like to have torx or socket heads. I found a few suppliers
of phillips head black brass machine screws like Aircraft Spruce, but I
cannot locate any with torx or socket heads.

Thanks for any info...

Me too. As I recall I populated my panel with black painted stainless
socket heads from MMC. However, I couldn't get the right non-corrossive
black socket heads for one backup steam guage - ASI or ALT. The length
I needed was only available in black painted regular steel and it
started corroding immediately.

I'll have to go back and check the instrument and screw lengths to see
if anyone has a source.

I forgot, why do we want to use brass - magnetics right?

Thanks for all the replies on and off list. It seems that it is hard to
find brass fasteners that are Black Ox coated AND are something other
than phillips or slotted head.

McMaster-Carr (which most of the replies suggested) has a great
selection of brass fasteners, but none of them that I could see were
Black Ox coated. They have steel in Black Ox, but not brass.

I guess there's always self-painting the heads.

I saw a Cirrus SR-20 today that had black allen head screws for holding
the instruments. It was a fairly early 2000's model with mostly 6-pack
of steam gauges. Obviously Cirrus had to source them somewhere.
