Re: 1/4 inch socket, back nuts (black plastic)

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.?

There is at least one manufacturer in the UK for these. I can't
remember the name for the moment. I used to buy various sizes of nylon
nuts and threaded rod from them for high voltage assembly's. I
probably have some that size in stock.

Try "Moss Plastics"
