Jim, 

They're #12-40 hex nuts. Arco isn't the manufacturer -- they're a reseller. 
The actual manufacturer is FW Capacitor in Florence, SC. I bet if you 
contacted them, they'd send you a handful. 
My former employer used LOTS of that type of mica compression 
trimmer capacitor. I had a box full of capacitors, and bin full of pieces in 
my lab.
