Can anyone direct me to a supplier that might have 7/16ths UNF nyloc nuts on the shelf BUT unusually they have to be:

1. 11/16ths AF (rather than the usual 5/8")

2. they have to be shallow depth nuts that I believe are called T nuts

Help please - i need to go play with me nuts.

Cheers all

T nuts are generally for woodworking and furniture.
You might be be needing what are sometimes called halfnuts or, more correctly, shear nuts.
Or, perhaps you are thinking of K, sometimes called jet, nuts, available in shear and compression types.
