1/4" UNF nyloc lock nuts, where to get em.

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I need two 1/4" UNF nyloc lock nuts for my lawnmower.  It's in bits and I can't put it back together until I get these two nuts.  An ebay item has not yet arrived, already waited a week for them and still nothing.  I want to put the thing back together this weekend. 
It's the only two imperial nuts and bolts on the machine and they are right at the bottom holding the bottom blade to the cylinder. 6mm nuts and bolts are too small.  The nuts are held captive by part of the chassis so metric equivalents are either too big or too small.

Looking for a source in the Glasgow area.  Crockets the big ironmonger in town doesn't have them.  Not even going to entertain asking in B&Q for them.

I thought I had got away from UNF threads when my Mini was sent to the great big scrap yard in the sky but.......
