David,
I just checked the nuts I used on my gauges they are #6-32 NC. These
are the correct size for all the small gauges and the center gauge panel
no tapping required. You can get this size nut at any hardware or
electronic shop I used brass #6-32NC wing nuts I picked up at Home Depot
to replace the missing or damaged nuts on my TR3A.
