I realize there are more important things to worry about, but I need a replacement nut for a toggle switch on my electrical panel. I am starting to get obsessive about it and for some reason it's really bothering me. Yes, I've tried all my local hardware stores and surveyed the internet but have come up empty handed. It seems that the stock toggle switch (see photo) and nuts nuts are slightly larger than the universally available nuts. The previous owner apparently found some new ones demonstrated by the metal nuts. The stock units are black plastic. When I use the cabin light switch the toggle has a tendency to push inside the mounting plate and I can't live with that. I've spent WAY too much time looking for these and need some help (psychological perhaps). Any ideas on where I can find the correct size toggle switch nut?

For metal ones you can try McMaster Carr. Called Panel nuts, Switch nuts or Dress nuts. You will need to know the diameter measurement as well as the thread pitch.

Wow, what a coincidence. Been looking for the same nuts for my H240 switches. The plastic nuts have all cracked. Pretty sure the Carling switches on my boat take a 15/32" -32 pitch nut. Found these on ebay, but have not ordered yet. They are not black, but should work.

So I ordered the panel nuts that I posted above. They fit the Carling toggle switches on my H240 panel perfectly. Easy fix-
