There definitely are differences between marine hardware and AN/MS/NAS
aircraft hardware, but the most insidious thing is that you can't tell...
We like an outfit in Paso Robles (about three hours' drive south of San
Francisco on Hwy 101) called Genuine Aircraft Hardware. They are responsive,
charge reasonable prices, have a great inventory of diverse hardware items,
and will ship UPS ground which reaches anywhere in CA the next day.
They also have a wonderful free catalogue with lots of reference
information. You can reach them at their website,
http://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com/ or toll-free telephone in the U.S.,
888-247-2738.
