[skiscem]

I have this washburn bass and i lost the hex nuts that hold the potentiometers and they seem to be an odd size, i measured the threaded shaft with my caliper and they are .312" (5/16).
Were can i find those hex nuts? a link would be appreciated

5/16 is one of the interchange dimensions for metric/SAE. It may be an 8mm. The interchange points are all on the "5's".

5/64 = 2 mm
5/32 = 4 mm
5/16 = 8 mm
etc. ...
