Where to get thru panel connectors in M4 or M5?

I was wondering if anyone knows where to get M4 or M5 thru panel connectors? I'd like to build my own gas tank with an intank pump, but not sure where to get those electrical connectors that hook up to the flange. If anyone has any ideas let me know ... I've looked through everything that I know of.

They're called binding posts. Make sure you get insulated ones though. Digikey should have some in the size you need. Closest SAE size is 3/16".

Since the ones I used in the ATX 12v bench power supply were from radio shack for $4 and of questionable insulation, what I did was get a blank wall plate ($0.39) and drill four 1/16" holes for the posts. Then run the wires through a single electrical box (the kind for outlets & wall switches, $0.20) to a molex drive connector. Added fuses on the 12v+ and 5v+ too, works like a charm.

hmm I went though all the pages of the connectors (page by page ... yes over 500 pages) and still can't find what I'm looking for. This is the style I'm looking for:

ya I'm aware of doing something like that would work, just would be quicker and possibly cheaper just buying it off the shelf.
