Default Need a nut

"James" typed


Does anyone know of a cheap online supplier for nuts ?


Basically I was changing my rear light cluster on my car as some little
idiot decided to smash it. It attached with 3 nuts and using a 8mm
socket to
get them off. I managed to get 2 of them off and dropped the third into the
bodywork lost forever!


Now what I'm after is a replacement. I live in a remote area so popping to
local diy stores is a lengthy process so if anyone knows of a online
supplier who would be happy to sell a single nut would be handy ?


I assume its a 8mm nut as I used a 8mm socket to get it out.


.... just typical as soon as I get into a diy mood I start losing
nuts! ... I
was doing so well untill I get all thumbs.


Thanks



It might be 8mm on the outside but its internal threading is what's
critical to get right. Is it M5 or what?
