[DeTomaso] Schwing-worthy hardware for ZF etc.

[Asa Jay Laughton]

This kind of hardware (having an integrated o-ring) is notoriously  
expensive.  Some of our handheld products use them to help prevent  
water intrusion past the assembly screws.  It takes a special  
machining process to carve out just enough groove for the o-ring to  
set in and compress.  The trick is too little groove and the o-ring  
just squishes out from under the head of the screw or the nut.  Too  
much groove and there isn't enough compression of the o-ring to get a  
good seal.

$4 each at the moment, considering what it is, sounds like a pretty  
good deal to me, but if you can get them down even farther, that would  
be even better.
