<Does anyone know what type of nut is used on an Arco 30 Series ceramic 
<compression trimmer capacitor?

None of the standard (SAE) or metric nuts at my local hardware store work.

Anyone have some? Need about 15 of them.

Thanks!

##  $10.00 for a   12-40 nut is looney tunes.  You can buy the entire arco, brand new, 
for  $6.40 

##  I have never heard of a 12-40 nut.   Not in any of my tap + die sets either.  None of my thread gauges
have it either.  Only thing I have for a thread gauge, and tap + dies is a 12-24. 

##  Phone arco and see if they will sell  you the nuts.  How did you manage to obtain a bunch of arco trimmer
caps.... minus the mating nuts ??
