what size nuts for the circuit breakers?

[rbridges]

I've got a few circuit breakers on the right side panel that are held in place with some fairly old looking nuts.  I took one off and went to lowes to get a size.  It fit pretty well on the 3/8-24 thread sample, but for the life of me, I'm finding it nearly impossible to find panel nuts in that size.  Is that the actual size or am I off a little bit?

If you can source the nuts from klixon without buying an entire circuit breaker, you have really accomplished something...

See if you can buy a printed switch cover for a circuit breaker switch to complete the miracle...

One thing about Aviation Company Equipment Hardware store is they have a pretty good selection of nuts and bolts that extend beyond the big box places.

thanks for your help, everyone.  I just said screw it, and sanded/painted my old ones.  It was just for cosmetic reasons.  I guess they can be found, but since my very quick google search yielded little, I decided to just use the old ones.
