Light Monkey P-Valve replacement bolt/nut?

[fuzzybabybunny]

I lost the nut that you unscrew on your leg and it's leaking water into the suit.

I need either a fix by tomorrow morning or does anyone know what size nut I would need? Are they universal size and would dive shops readily carry them?

If it is a balanced P-valve, the missing bolt won't be a problem, also if it is plumbed up, it shouldn't be an issue either. I forgot to put the bolt in mine first time I used the suit after installing that LM valve. Just to be safe I put a piece of duck tale over the hole & a piece over the end of the tubing inside the suit. I had absolutely no problems with it. Not sure what size bolt it is, but without the O-ring, the bolt is pretty well useless. Not sure if it is universal or not, but I think you can probably get one ordered through any Light Monkey dealer. I'm thinking it is a universal bolt, but not sure of the size. I would guess, that if you can find out the size, you could easily get any machine shop to drill holes down the shaft & across the top of the shaft & put an o-ring on it.
