[DeTomaso] NPC: speed (Pal) nuts

[doug351c]

It's not a dumb question and no I hadn't though of contacting a music store
or Gibson since the amp is so old - but it's probably worth at try.

I also tried an 8-32 Pal nut I had with a #8 sheet metal screw (which has 14
threads/inch) and it works fine.  So its a good bet that the 6-32 Pal nuts I
have coming from McMaster-Carr will fit the #6 sheet metal stud (20
threads/inch) in the Gibson amp.

  Dumb question...have you tried any of the local Music stores? If your not
in a hurry contact Gibson, but I'm sure you've thought of that already?

  Anyone run across a supplier for this type of speed nut (see attached
pic).
  I need it to fit a #6 sheet metal screw with the most common type "AB"
  thread/point which I believe is 20 threads per inch.

  I've also seen these called "Pal" nuts but the Pal type may only apply to
a
  machine thread which in this case would be 6-32.

  Which brings up another question - anyone seen a size chart for sheet
metal
  screw thread pitches?

  BTW: I need this to restore a vintage Gibson guitar amp for my son Steve.
