Spark plug nut

I have a cracked 3/4" spark plug wire nut. Where can I get just a replacement nut?

Maybe this link will help.

There should be a part number on the nut that you could look for in the list. Looks like they only sell them in a pack of 10.
If not, there should be a phone number on the web page home page.

Good luck!

....of course, they take very little torque....but....
I was school'd by an old time AP and use a que tip with a very small amount, less than a drop, of machine oil on the inside surface or shoulder of the plug wire lead fitting so the nut and fitting do not gall. (somebody know what they call that piece?)
He believes this reduces the opportunity for the nut to crack.
I do this anytime I remove the plug wire from the plug.

Make sure you do not get any oil on the lead or lead insulator itself.
