Hi everybody.
 
My gorgeous Elan 6 string is missing the middle bolt in the nut (see pic).
 

 
It's really impossible to find one in Italy, but I'm lucky enough to have a friend going to New York for some days.
 
Does anybody knows if there's a shop in the Big Apple where it's possible to get one of those bolts?
 
Thanks.

5/16 hex set-screw. Ask Mica if she can send you one out. It's not common outside the US.
Here's a link to Mica's hardware specs

Ooops,
That's just the wrench size. You'll need one of those too. The set screw is probably something like a #6-32 thread x 1/4 long? Mica will know for sure!

Last september I wrote to the halpdesk and they told me they should send me what I was looking for, but I never received anything.
 
I guess it got lost along the way to Italy.
I can't ask for one more shipment.
 
Sorry but I got no idea about the bass/nut specs.

Giancarlo - I'll send you the part you need. Be on the lookout. I emailed you to confirm we have the right mailing address.

The best basses made by the best people.
 
I can't believe it.
 
Thanks.
