Skywatcher spares

[McMoon]

Can anyone help? I am after some particular spares for my sons Sky-Watcher Mercury-707. Its on the basic AZ mount and the wee tripod tray is now missing some of the wing nuts. 

Any idea's as to where I can get some of these little wing nuts?

Thanks

Hi,

I'd try a local DIY shop if you can find one. They would be a lot cheaper than 'genuine parts'

A Hardware store would be my first port of call.

That makes the most sense but just didnt think of it with the wing nut being joined to the threaded bolt section plus the part being so small.

There are a lot of types on E-Bay if you have the size you will 

probably get them from them, here is the link hope you find them

Genius!! And guess what I have a bag full of from old PC's I have had in the past? 

Thanks...though quite why I am admitting I was unable to work this out myself I dont know.
