Pedal Steel (Nylon) Tuning Nuts

Postby chris hillman » Fri Oct 12, 2018 10:36 am

Hey all,

I want to replace the tired old Nylon ends on my Sho~Bud project. Do these come un-threaded or threaded ?

I can only find them for sale on ebay or amazon and i think the rods on my sho~bud are BSA no:4 thread size. It was replaced at some point with different Rods etc. years ago.

Cheers
Chris

Gerry Hogan does packs of nuts that I like as they seem more grippy than the standards. They are unthreaded and if you only need short nuts, you can get two out of one. If you search for Gerry Hogan pedal steel you’ll find the site.

John Davis would also provide what you need. Cut them down as tyou need. They'll thread themselves on the rod ends as long as you've got them lined up straight.
