Ol' Blue uses a jam nut setup. Better than a nylock, IMHO. Let your
fingers walk to a fastener place and get two half-thickness nuts.

......... SNIP ............ the nut on the
bottom looks to be a 7/8 or 1" keeps coming loose and the cam lock wont
work. the only solution I see to fixing this is to get a nylon locking
nut
to replace it or get a new after market tool rest.

Dominic,
The measurements on your lathe are all metric, so you'll need to check
that
out before you try to find a Nylok fastener.
