Pedal rack on Carter wing nut size?
I am curious about the size of the wing nuts that. Attach the pedal rack on a Carter D-10.
Thanks,Stu

Get rid of those darn wing nuts. Go to a good hardware store and get some threaded knobs. The ones with plastic grips so you can turn them easier.
Is there a problem that requires re-drilling and moving to a different size? If not, I think that is unnecessary. I've had my Carter since '99, and never had issues with the wingnuts or screws.

Thanks Jerry. Stu & I have been kicking this around and I've been limited in my search by the use of the name "thumb nuts". Yep--those are them.
It is worth mentioning that there IS such a thing as getting something too large. Something protruding too much can get in the way of the volume pedal depending on where you set it or if it walks on you.

True...also, the bolts on this Carter are just standard cross point screws with a locking not on the back side of the bar.
One might need to shorten the bolt, or use a shorter one to keep the knob from bottoming out...I think the triangular one shows 1 1/8" of threads, so probably good.
There is also a nylon wing type nut but with wider, sturdier and flatter wings that needs less space than the knob, but I'm not finding those at the moment.

In the hardware stores, they are in the drawers in the nut and bolts aisle. The same drawers that you would find things like cotter pins, roll pins, other oddball hardware.
I know Stu found some, so this info is for others wanting to replace those freakin' wing nuts. Have lost several of those over the years.

Exactly. Though I never thought to have a spare, that's a good idea. I do carry spare wing nuts though, just in case. I've had wing nuts disappear. I need to get some of these knobs for the Mullen I got a year ago.Mark van Allen wrote:Where ever you find them and for what ever brand guitar, I always tell my students to just get spares for those and your pak seat nut.
