Re: 80/20 Sources

McMaster provides 80/20 if you need it quickly: http://www.mcmaster.com/#t-slotted-extrusions/=kplyjl

They also provide the fasteners in pairs (both bolt and nut): http://www.mcmaster.com/#metric-t-sl...raming/=kpm0zo

The 10-32 thread and M-5 thread are similar, but not identical. The 10-32 bolts can work if you absolutely need to use them since the thread engagement with the T-nuts is small. However, if that thread engagement were to increase, you'd have issues with internal and external threads interfering.
