The facts .  The only pivot and jam nut I have is a (I measured) 20mm X 1.0 thread pitch . The outer hex is a 30mm head on the jam nut.  Searching Fastenal website gives only 20x2.5 thread pitch only. You can Google and find plenty of offerings there . Not all taps/dies are created equal .  Maybe someone will chime in on their favorite brand(s) of taps. 

The miracle of all miracles . I keep LOTS of things .a.k.a. JUNK in many plastic drawers . @ 3:45 a.m. I walked out into the shop , opened the first drawer and "presto" found the jam nut/pivot bolt .  Remind Deanna to purchase Lottery ticket today !

What does all this mean. I'll make my own nut and cut the thread myself on the lathe.

This is the method I expected Phil would use. It amazes me that threads can be cut on a lathe. Doubly more-so: internal threads . . . :luigi: :nerd:

A good machinist can make (including threads) almost anything
