Hi,
Can someone direct me to a cheap source for reverse thread nuts? I need one for my trimmer, but the mail-order parts distributor (for Ryobi)P wants $13 for one. I'd like to find something more reasonable.
Thanks, H

I once tried to find a 5 mm ID left-hand 5 mm nut to replace the the lost nut that was supposed to hold the fan onto the fan-clutch assembly on the 'Murican-made mini-van. I searched the entire NorCal area, including the SF Bay area.
I ended up replacing the fan-clutch assembly for $170. Actually, THEY ended up replacing it, it was under warranty.

if all else fails, get a right handed on and turn it upside down.
Turn it in the other direction...
Honestly, try Fastenal.
I think that only works in Australia
think you'd have to turn it inside out and backwards to get it to come out right

Try to find the largest Ace hardware in your area. They'll carry them. I bought one for my Jet TS for about $2.
