In another post I see a few have had problems losing the nut for the arm on the awnings.
After my grandson borrowed the van, I had the same problem. Needing the van soon, I made a couple of the nuts out of 5 x 25mm aluminium bar. A 1/4" withworth thread in the centre did the trick. Worst part was getting the screw back into the nut. I used something to hold the nut, but am sorry I cannot remember what it was.
Much stronger and cheaper than having to pay around $24 for the screw and diecast nut.
I had the aluminium and tap, but I think it can be sourced from Bunnings, and the 1/4" tap also isn't too expensive. I use trefolex as a cutting compound, but I think kero will also work OK.
