Brass nuts
Does anyone know where I might buy a brass nut with a 1/8" Whitworth thread? A dome nut would be best, or a plain or wing nut would do. It is to repair an old camera. Most suppliers seem to start at 3/16", but I'm fairly sure I need 1/8". There seem to be plenty available in Australia. I assume they still use that standard (?), but the small cost of even 100 makes it unlikely that I can get some sent over. I only need one, but would buy a batch if necessary.

I used to find a good selection of brass bolts at ships chandeliers. Could try Screw fix on the Internet.

Thanks Robin. I've ordered 100 for 91p. P&P is £9.00!!! It will be worth it, however, to fix the camera. If anyone else needs one, I should have several spare...😀

A bit late to the party, but it is something I could have knocked up for you in a couple of minutes.
One advantage of having a lathe and a stock of old taps. |

You could probably flog the remaining 99 on eBay in small batches at no loss, probably even make a few bob.
