Model 4 locknut question

[Archaic One]

I have a Model 4 with the older Kahler trem on it. The locknut is the the straight-slot thumbscrew type. I was changing my G-string, and loosened the thumbscrew too much, apparently. I lost the little square nut that anchors the thumbscrew. By chance, does anyone know what size that nut is if I have to get a replacement? Thanks a lot!

This is the place to go:

This is JCFer Budman68's site. He's the best & he'll get you fixed up. Near the bottom of that page he has locking plates for Kahler and JT-6 string locks. By your description of the screws, it sounds like you might have a JT-6 lock even though you have a Kahler trem.

Wow! That was fast! Hey, I spoke in error--it's a Jackson "Licensed by Floyd Rose" trem. But I'm checking out your link immediately. Thank you!

I'll bet if you pull the nut off, you'll find that piece hiding in there.

Hmmmm...hadn't thought of that, as I looked for that plate *everywhere*. Oh well, Budman has already come to the rescue, and the plate is on its way. That's a great resource, btw.
