[TowerTalk] Got Nuts? (An M8 Square One)

[john at kk9a.com]

If you can't find a suitable metric nut at you local hardware store you 
could use a 5/16-18 bolt maybe with some large washers so you can turn the 
hex head or if you're really lucky you could find a 5/16-18 x 3 1/2 SHCS and 
square nut as a temporary fix.

The pinning bolt on my G2800-series rotor failed and neither the nut nor 
bolt
are to be found near the tower.

Yaesu shipped me the M8 x 95mm socket head cap bolt that I need. But the
matching M8 metric nut is on backorder (ETA 6 - 8 weeks).

Does anyone have one or two M8 square nuts that they could sell (or loan me
until my back order is filled)?  Tnx.
