Hi,
I'm looking for a missing nut for the lock mechanism on my Vendo 63. It must have come loose and fallen into the cap catcher and gotten thrown out.  '>
Or would be willing to consider the entire locking mechanism!
Thanks!

You can buy a new nut from a local hardware store (ie. Home Depot, Lowe's Ace) for less than 10 cents. Either figure out what size thread it is or take the whole lock to the hardware store and try different nuts.

Thanks Tom, I already tried at my local Ace Hardware. It appears that it isn't a common size it needs to be sqaure. That's why I'm having such a hard time finding it I guess.

What do you mean by square? The nut is square shaped? What size is the thread close to? I have some square shaped nuts. Did you try some of the metric nut sizes. Sorry, I don't own a V63 so I can't check it out for myself.

You can use any shaped nut as long as the thread count is the same. If my memory serves me correct I think it's probably a 1/4" x 32 nut. Lowes/Home Depot will definitely have it.
The shaft is "squared" to allow the round locking cam to be mechanically linked to the shaft. It just gives the impression that since the sides of the shaft where a nut would go is square that it must use a differently configured nut.
Let me assure you, it doesn't. Still, if you have any trouble finding a replacement, let us know!

Hi,
The thread size or count is not a common one. Metric is to fine and SAE is to course. Some lock manufacturers seemed to have there own thread patten on some of there locks.

Bob, you've hit the nail on the head!!!
I took the lock to the hardware store and we tried about every nut in the store and nothing fits! And to think the original probably was thrown out with the caps! Argh!!!!!!  '>
Tom, I'm not sure if the original nut was square or not. I never really looked at it before it was lost. This complicates things cause I really don't have a visual of what I'm even looking for.
Kevin, if you have one I'd love to buy it from you!!!!

Maybe you could find a "C" clip that size?

I was thinking along those same lines Moondawg, but I was thinking a speed nut like a lot of the fan blades use.
