@Anomnomnomaly@beige.party That's my back up plan. I'm a chronic hoarder of Useful Fastenings because of having old cars but I haven't found anything with a matching thread yet. Also, the proper item will just feel nicer to use than a nut.

@vulgalour@birdbutt.com I didn't know if this was going to a cosmetic preference or an 'anything will suffice' solution. Hope you find what you are looking for.

@vulgalour@birdbutt.com Just counting the threads in the picture, I suspect that's a 32 thread-per-inch screw, likely US #6, #8, or #10 diameter (US screws are a mess). You might be able to buy a shoulder bolt as a better improvised solution, though the part does practically cry out to be turned on a hobby lathe -- if I was on the correct side of the atlantic I'd offer to make one, but alas the international shipping would be extraordinarily expensive.
