Outie jack done right

[steviejr92]

I have 1/4" plastic cylinders with a #8 hole. The phillips head goes on top of the circuit board. Under the board is the cylinder, a nut, then the chassis and another nut. Making my own standoff for a fraction of the cost for my amps. But where do you get the extra nut for the DC jack? Do they sell those separate or ?

I too would like to know if they sell the nuts for the dc jacks. Ive had to use some as a spacer and now i have a couple perfectly good jacks that i cant fit cause i dont have the nuts for them.

Although it's plastic, you could probably use one of these, assuming the threads are the same. 12¢

See? They aren't all bad.

I think those are great and practical. Just like the 1/4” jacks.

I don’t use a nut on the inside, I just have them sticking as far out as possible. Same with jacks

I think attractive nuts are under-rated.

Yes, but do you feel that under-rated nuts are attractive?

Better to have Under-nuts that are over-8'ed.

 

[HamishR]

Weill if I feel that attractive nuts are under-rated it stands to reason that yes, in a lot of cases I would find under-rated nuts attractive. But not in every case. And there are some over-rated nuts which are unattractive. Look at Yngwie Malmsteen.

I don't want to look at Yngwie's nuts. Hard pass.
