Dear Mike,

Yes, they mentioned the extra zinc surcharge if ordered with that. I didn't think that zinc would be necessary. I don't believe that Chuck Melton's polished stainless steel acorn nuts have zinc plating and they still look good at the ten month point of installation.

Do you think that the zinc coating is needed? It seems to me that the standard $2.55 stainless steel acorn nut would work just fine.

Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

self sealing acorn nuts was $2.55 each for a total minimum order of $255.
If someone would organize a group buy, then I would buy twenty.

They fail to tell you in the quote, that they then charge an additional $100 for the zinc plating (flat rate), plus shipping.  It works out to about $375-380 for 100, or close to $4 apiece.
