Looking for 3/8 in-24 thread/low profile self locking nuts/

[Larry]

I need 2 low profile nuts as noted above for my lower engine mounts.
Can't seem to locate them anywhere. Aircraft Spruce does not carry them
and they say they are only made for specific aircraft application. Any
ideas where I can find them? Thanks.

Give me a measurement on the height---I have a bunch of all steel self
lockers
(aircraft surplus-good stuff)--no fiber type self lockers in engine
compartment...
These are passivated , six splits & squeezed down on top 1/3----they are
lower than
reguar lockers..Jerry

The nuts are called flexloc and thickness is about .282 inches. Some
are called Heavy Hex/Thin Height and others are called Light Hex/Thin
Height. I'd go with both of them 2 ea. Heavy is .616 Bearing service/
Light is .553
They need to be "flexloc" types (aircraft quality NAS/MS)..Thanks
