I bought a never used Ryobi adventure 110E reel but I'm missing the nut to hold the handle on. I plan on using this reel for some shark fishing this spring. I have not found a place in Ga that carries this nut.

It may be hard to find a Ryobi handle nut here in the States as they are not that common but you may be able to find a metric sized stainless steel acorn nut that might work if you match the threads.

meh, 16 x 1 is a little unusual. They can be found as jam nuts on pneumatic cylinders, if you just happen to have a bunch of those around. Or here https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/11509286  or if you're really desperate I suppose one could be made by a nice somebody who happens to have such a tap.

That nice somebody could be you Doc ;) ;D.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Yes.

Charge? Oh, idunno. Chalk it up to forum goodwill, or pay it forward.

What is this, just a regular hexagonal nut? Size and thickness? Any additional features?

All right, so here it is then... 4 mm thick, 22 a/f, stainless steel.
Put your adress in my inbox and i'll drop in the mailbox.

It's amazing what can be found or made on this forum. The impossible becomes possible from all over the world. A guy looks for a part in GA. & finds it in Sweden. Great going Robert.                                           Rudy

Doc, I was only joking above, but I'm glad you're helping him out. I bet you can't find a nut as the one you just made in any store. ;D
Nice move my friend ;).

This is above and beyond the call of duty!  Robert J your deserve Kudos in heaping amounts.   I hope the reel fishes a lot , and you rest on the lollys of doing a good deed.   Many would give a left nut to have a friend like you.    This is the best Forum with the best players.

Wow!  :o

That is some serious goodwill there.  Better be careful or everyone is going to be requesting 'custom' nuts 'n bolts.
Hope springs eternal
for the consumate fishermen.

The same nut is used to lock the bottom of the strut insert in an Ohlins 50mm shock absorber, and they are really quite rare, especially in stainless.

Robert J, what a legend.
