Ws Washer Nozzle

For the life of me, I can’t find a nut to fit this WS washer nozzle. It’s 5/16” diameter, but it’s not the standard 18 or 24 thread pitch. It’s much finer than that, but I’m not finding a metric equivalent (and I highly doubt Jeep used a metric nut in 1970).

Any suggestions? I tried Fastenal and they didn’t have anything…

 

5/16-32 UNEF would be the extra fine. Mcmaster carr lists a few. You might measure the TPI to verify.

Thanks so much. I had never heard of “extra fine”, but that’s probably what it is…

 

I searched every hardware store around here looking for an odd ball size nut for a mirror I have. I needed a 1/4 28 TPI (fine thread).

Found them on Ebay listed for something on a BMW bike but I wasn't about to pay $7 for a little nut.

McMaster listed them but I didn't want a whole box of nuts I would only use one of.

Fastenall lists them too, but the store they had in Dayton closed a couple years ago and I don't know of another close to here.

Last week we went to the Rural King store to get a battery for our camper. While there I checked their fastener isle and sure enough they had that size nut. They have a wide selection.

I don't know if you have a Rural King near you, but if so it would be worth looking for the nut you need.

Ah ha! I bet that’s the answer. And I think my local Ace Hardware sells them.

 

Nice nozzle...
