Sealed nut for Roughstack switch?

[Lstav2]

I was wondering if anybody knows the specific type of nut used for the Roughstack switch (#, size, threading, etc.). I have an RS being shipped and am curious as to whether I can find a sealed nut (nut w/ a tiny, compressible o-ring on the inner diameter) at Home Depot, Ace, wherever... This would seal the switch hole and prevent any liquid from entering. Thanks!

I do not, but you might try asking the folks over at the modding forum or ask a veteran. (I'm not sure what the policies on linking are here so I'll abstain, but you can easily find them on the forum homepage.) Hopefully someone here will know, but just in case. Good luck finding an answer!

I don't know about your sealed nut but when I had a Roughstack this was my solution. I went to my local hardware store and picked up a small o-ring that fit the diameter of the switch post. Take the nut off the switch and remove the switch from the cap. Put the o-ring on the post and then put the switch back in the cap and replace the nut. I never had juice leak into the cap again.

Good question! And this is a great response. I'm gonna look into this for my Roughstack.

That's a great idea, WIvapor. As soon as mine arrives I'm going to measure the post and get a small o-ring. Hopefully after that the top will be as water-tight as a frog's rear-end. Thanks.

I put some silicone on the threads and then screwed the nut down, any access that gets squeezed out can be easily removed when it dries.
