I'm not sure but I'm betting on 1/8 or 3/16 I ordered a mixed bag from Amazon for my Justice when I couldn't find the exact originals. Hopefully someone will chime in.

[clickhere] Push nuts, metal internal toothed starlock bimetal washers that hold a rod on by the tension of the internal teeth. There are a few designs of these things that perform the same function.

Several choices here....also probably places like MSC Direct, McMaster Carr, Grainger etc.

If 3/32 [.092] is your rod size, these 2 or 2.5 mm size should work.

If your guitar has original pull rods they will be 3/32 push nuts. A push nut presses on you pull rod where it is bent and goes thur your bell crank to hold it in place. It is a spring steel washer with tines in center to grip the rod. Unless your guitar has been rebuilt it should have others on all pull rods to see what they are like. As others have posted their are several places to get them. Sad news about them they come in large quantity. J.R. Rose
