1966 Choke Cable Nut

Somewhere in the plating process my choke cable nut that secures the cable to the bracket got lost.  Does anyone have an extra to purchase or know where I might buy one? 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Greek, there is nothing special about this nut. It is a common 7/16-14 non plated jam nut. It's measurements are: 11/16 hex x 1/4 inch thick.

You'll most likely find most commercially-available jam nuts are zinc plated. A dip in muriatic acid will take care of the plating if necessary.

I don't know what the Ford part number is but I wouldn't spend too much time searching for it and subsequently the "actual" nut when it would be easy to get there with a store-bought jam nut.

Hope this helps.

Frank,

Thanks for the information.  I will check my local hardware store.

Greek, after I sent my last post, I browsed on the Home Depot web site and found that they sell a package of 4 nuts for a whopping $1.13. When is the last time that you would spend so little for a Shelby part (1966?).

Frank,

Thanks for the lead.  The Depot was going to be one of my stops.

Thanks,
