Maybe I didn't use the right words at McMaster-Carr, but I didn't spot a 5/8-20 nut there. I need one for my tool and cutter grinder. I suppose if I have to I can make one on my lathe, but it would be easier to buy one if they're available somewhere. Where can you find odd size nuts?

Try google, they are plentiful.
Well, one of mine is the size of a pea, and the other one is a little tiny bastard!

--Try my fave: 1-800-SB-BOLTS has just about everything or can get it if not in stock.
Where is the humor, Harold?

Damn! Now that you make mention, it's not all that funny being saddled with those little suckers. :-)

I would bet a nickel that Harley dealers would carry them.

Doh! How obvious. The first or second link is to a Harley supply co. I may be able to source that locally if Harley's use that thread. Thanks.

A bit late to be helpful probably, but I needed a 3/4 16 nut to make a specialty puller/lifter the other day. Of course none of the local hardware or box stores had anything, but 3/4-10. I stopped by the local Copperstate bolt and they had it in field grade 2, grade 5, and grade 8 as well as extended length nuts. The extended length was exactly what I had hoped to find. Job done.
