Supra Hardware

[Dan Meyer]

Can anyone tell me where I can find the nut that holds the elevator on a Supra?

Its a odd ball nut that I will never find at the local hardware store.

From Barry is about the only place to find one. I worry about losing the one for mine as well. So, if you find some I will buy a couple to.

The British Supra distributor is Neil at www.hyperflight.co.uk

I ordered a spinner from him and it was delivered within a week for about a $7 shipping fee. 

If you order from him I would also buy one of those screws from you if you order extra.

I seem to remember that someone posted that they are used on bicycle spokes to hold them to the rim. I don't know if that is true or not.

I found the nut in some blaster hardware.....was to small for the threads.

I then found two nuts for a AVA....the shaft on the nut is too long...so Blaster

or AVA nuts do not work.

I think Ed is right about the nut being bicycle related.  It sure looks very similar to these pictures of "spoke nipples":

or

I think a trip to one of the more militant bike stores in town might be fruitful.  I'm thinking Baer Wheels, since the supra nut isn't in the latest pictures on-line so maybe this is an older style nut and Baer Wheels has a lot of weird odds and ends for bike repair.

Sure looks like the same type of nut. Might have to take he mount with you to the bike store to see if the threads match. Are the nuts on the Ava and Supra he same except for length?
