Amp input jack nut/washer size?

[hooky_lowdown]

I was given a little peavey microbass amp, I like it, but it came without a nut/washer on the input jack - and it keeps cutting out as it moves around when I play.

I brought a "Marshall" plastic 1/4 inch nut, which I thought would fit, but is too big. I understand there are "thin" 1/4 inch hex nuts, to fit fine threads. Does anyone know where I can buy just one hex nut and washer for this amp which is the correct size? Or does anyone have one I can buy from them?

Yes - there are 'Fine Thread' Potenmtiometer fixing nuts.
It's always a problem to get single pieces of small items like this.

Prob this type of thing:

Best option is ifg you can find a 'scrap' nut from something.
Elese I've worked out it's cheaper to buy a pot and use the nut from it - from CPC etc...
