Tailchaser, this is sort of aimed at you, but anyone else can answer. I added an oil pressure sensor to my 99, so I could get a working gauge. Sunday the nut that held the wire onto the sender fell off. I would like to get another one just like it. Anyone have an idea where I can get a nut for an electrical connector like that? I went to radio shack, and they had some regular nuts, but I didnt know the size. And I would rather have one of the big ones that came with the sender.
Go snatch the one off Vivid, go to Elliot's hardware, and get one just like it! :-)Quote:

If you have the nut in hand, a good hardware store should have something that will fit. Elliot's is in that category. YMMV at Ace...Quote:

Thats the problem. I am guessing the thumbnut is somewhere in the parking lot at pennington field.
Go to the hardware store and buy an assortment of nuts (sae or metric?). It's not going to bankrupt you, and one is bound to fit. Then, If you are a TRUE CB take the others you didn't use back for a refund! Or keep them in an old coffee can for future use like me.
If you keep the wrong ones, don't be like Mark52 or me; try to remember that those spare ones won't fit the sender unit.Quote:
