Little nuts that hold 'door' to pins

[gregh]

I need some of the domed nuts that hold the door onto the pin, I've tried some local DIY shops and Halfords but none of them have any that fit.

Does anyone know where I can get some from and what size they are?

thanks,

You can usually buy them by the 1000 at kit car shows, but as they're all finished you could try:

BSR Aerotek

I've used them before for some alloy washers and stuff.

They're M5 I think.  I got some from one of big B&Q Depots a couple of years ago but don't know if they still stock them.

Measure them. M5 means 5mm internal diameter - 5mm bolt thread in other words. Mine are M4. My local chaps should sell you them by the 1 (not the 1000), have stainless versions of most stuff and will post them out.

Some of the staff can construct sentences, they love orders for two or three nuts and will let you know this with some amusing jibes. My average spend there is about 60p.
