I tried Grainger but not McMaster-Carr. What did you search for on Ebay? Radio nuts? Jamb nuts? Panel nuts? I always end up with a bunch of extraneous items whenever I look for something on Ebay. Based on what I tried at Lowes it is 1/2 x 20 thread, a fine thread.

That 1/2-20 is a problem. If it was 1/2-28, they are every where.

Wide selection of 1/2-20 nuts at McMaster Carr, search jamb nuts, type in 1/2-20 thread in the size box, even left handed 1/2-20 jamb nuts are available, when you click on a product number the "product description" text will pop up, you can then check the height specs of the assorted nuts offered as well as material or country of origin Mike

I tried McMaster-Carr. They had the nuts but they were 5/16" thick. I need 1/8" thick. I appreciate the help. If anyone has any other ideas I would appreciate it. 3/16" (.186) thick do the trick?... vs 1/8 (.125), .062 (1/16") difference? Did more looking, what you want by description is a "panel nut", not a jamb nut....

Try hitting some thrift shops or antique malls. You may find some 70s/80s aftermarket radios with the same nuts.
