| Post subject: | Switch Nut? |
This is driving me crazy. I've managed to lose the thumb nut that retains the trip meter reset cable to the dash panel. Does anyone have a spare they could sell me or tell me where on the earth I can find one? I believe it is a 14mm x 1mm. It is the switch nut that is low profile and generally tightened by fingers only so it is knurled not hex shaped. Help! Thanks |

Thanks Mctool. I have tried looking into auto switches but so far nothing. A bike breaker is my next stop. Funny how these $.50 pieces can cause such frustration. I figured if it is just unobtainable, I'd have my machine shop make me one, for about $75! |

I measure 13mm inner diameter on mine (18,3mm od, 3,65mm thickness). So M14x1 as you said. I`ll have to pick up some parts for my car today or tomorrow. If I have a chance I`ll drop by the hardware store and see what they have. For the forum search engine: trip resetter, trip counter, trip meter, lock ring, knurled ring nut |

The hardware store doesn`t have anything like that. If found them on the internet tho https://www.cncwarrior.com/product-p/22905.htm In case you order one would you order one for me as well? May be a good idea to ask how thick it is first. Imo up to 5mm would be ok. Or http://www.ebay.com/itm/Select-M10-M27- ... XEGLwkSsKQ |

That looks like the sort of thing found on a bicycle inner tube. |

Same idea but different size. Meant to be tightened by fingers only just like on a presta valve inner tube stem. |
