Assuming no one knows of a UK supplier of packs of just these and not
sockets plus nuts. I've run out of salvaged ones to replace the missing
ones from amps, to be repaired for other reasons than just missing nuts,
but cannot return to owners with missing ones.
How to make adequate replacements ? any ideas.
The thread for the plastic ones seem to be 12mm x 1.75 pitch, ie coarser
thread than the metal ones that I have dozens/hundreds of.
Find some black plastic of the right sort of thickness. Ignore the
flange bit. Grind a cutting face on all 6 sides of an appropriate size
old hex socket set driver to punch the outer hex shape. Punch a circular
central hole and tap 12mm thread.?
Mix a colorant with an epoxy, cover a long threaded rod with a
lubricant/release agent, cover in black epoxy, mold into proper hex shape,
After the epoxy hardens, remove the rod from the center and cut into nuts
of proper thickness.
