[s-cars] Turbonetics hose clamp specs (lock nuts)

[mlp]

Find a "truck parts" or "truck (big over the road 18 wheeler type) shop.
They often carry these things in stock if you don't have time to order from
McMaster etc.  They also BTW, in a pinch, once in a while have high temp
silicon hoses in various lengths.

~I'm hoping that others on the list are using these hose clamps
~for their Samco hoses.
~
~That said, what is the specification of the locknuts that are used
~for these clamps?
~
~One of my clamps is missing a locknut and when I got ambitious and
~went to install the lower intercooler hose, I found that the locknuts
~I bought were the wrong thread pitch. I bought 1/4"-20 stainless nylock
~lock nuts. These appeared to be close in pitch, but they are wrong- only
~one revolution and the threads don't work.
~
~Are these some sort of metric pitch or something very unusual that
~I can't get at the local hardware store? Forget about the autoparts
~store,
~they don't have anything remotely close.
~
~Tom at Euro-Car is trying to find me a locknut, but I'd like the spec so
~I know what I need to buy.
~
~Thanks.
~
~Is there such a thing as a thread pitch scale for a nut?
