4 speed gearbox - the large nylon cup/nut

[jono]

My big nylon nut has worn threads - could this be what keeps causing the selectors to jam?

In any event I would like to replace the nut before I drop the body back on, and in doing so hopefully cure the selector problem.

I have seen machined alloy version for sale somewhere but can't recall where. Can anyone direct me to a source of either nylon or similar replacement nuts....and any suggestions on the cause of intermittently jamming selectors would be gratefully received

Cheers

Jon
