This is driving me crazy. I've managed to lose the thumb nut that retains the trip meter reset cable to the dash panel. Does anyone have a spare they could sell me or tell me where on the earth I can find one? I believe it is a 14mm x 1mm. It is the switch nut that is low profile and generally tightened by fingers only so it is knurled not hex shaped.
Help!
Thanks

Re: Switch Nut?
Go to an auto electric shop and check out the switches , probly have to buy the whole thing but more than likely there will be something to fit. ..... Boat shop , car / bike wreaker ??
I wish I was young again............Id be heaps smarter than last time
Re: Switch Nut?
Thanks Mctool. I have tried looking into auto switches but so far nothing. A bike breaker is my next stop. Funny how these $.50 pieces can cause such frustration. I figured if it is just unobtainable, I'd have my machine shop make me one, for about $75!

Re: Switch Nut?
I measure 13mm inner diameter on mine (18,3mm od, 3,65mm thickness). So M14x1 as you said. I`ll have to pick up some parts for my car today or tomorrow. If I have a chance I`ll drop by the hardware store and see what they have.

Re: Switch Nut?
The hardware store doesn`t have anything like that.
If found them on the internet tho https://www.cncwarrior.com/product-p/22905.htm
In case you order one would you order one for me as well?
May be a good idea to ask how thick it is first. Imo up to 5mm would be ok.

Okay cool. This is hugely helpful, thanks! BTW what's your tag? I have ordered a total of 4, I'm happy to send you 2 once they show up here and you let me know where to send them.
Cheers

Re: Switch Nut?
That looks like the sort of thing found on a bicycle inner tube.

Re: Switch Nut?
Same idea but different size. Meant to be tightened by fingers only just like on a presta valve inner tube stem.

Hi RMR,
problem solved meanwhile?
