Careful ordering a nut. Some guys ordered who knows how many nuts from Guitar Parts Depot, Stewmac, Ebay, et cetera trying to find an import lock nut that would match up. Just finding the blocks, you might do OK with one of the "import" nuts from Guitar Parts Depot if you want to try for the cheap/easy fix.
For a whole replacement nut, you can't use an OFR nut, it's too tall. You can have someone cut the shelf down and plug/redrill the holes for a real Floyd nut, or you can grind down an OFR nut and plug/redrill the holes, which isn't a bad deal because the Takeuchi nut is not really made of the hardest metal, and it's a bitch to find the right nut for any of the Jackson imports when it wears out.
