[DeTomaso] Schwing-worthy hardware for ZF etc.

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.
