What size and where to get a hex nut for a Jazzmaster pickup toggle switch?

Philtre

Anyone know what size these are and where to get a hexagonal nut for a Jazzmaster pickup toggle switch? Is this the sort of thing you'd find in B&Q?

It’s 13mm, I can tell you that much (just checked mine.) I’d have thought B&Q was a pretty safe bet, yeah

Ignore that, you said pickup not jack input. It seems to be a 15mm. Don’t have a 15 spanner to check, but the 14mm doesn’t quite fit.

Nuts are measured by thread size, not spanner size.
Switches are likely to use a fine thread, and very thin nuts. Given B&Q don't stock either fine threads, or thing nuts, I'd very much doubt they'd have something that would fit.

Easiest option is normally to pinch a nut of another switch, as it's quite often cheaper than trying to source just a suitable nut.

I've done a search for "Jazzmaster toggle switch" and can get replacement switches for a hefty price, but all I need is the nut.

I’ll send you one, I have loads.

USA or Japanese Jazzmaster? The switch threads are different.
