where can I find a throttle cable nut?

[e30slidewayz]

I replaced the throttle body on the m20 today. In doing so I managed to lose on of those little nut that go on the end of the throttle cables that keeps that plastic adjuster from backing off. I took the one off the other throttle cable and figured I'd go down to ace hardware to see if I could find a replacement. I managed to lose the second one in transit... fml. Anyways, does anyone know what size these nuts are? I grabbed selection at ace but they were all too small. It looks like the dealership only sells the throttle cable assembly which comes with the nut. I've searched and searched and can't seem to find anything useful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, thanks for the part number. I'll head back up to ace tomorrow to see what I can find til I order those. I doubt the stealership will have um in stock.

Looks like that p/n is for the plastic piece, which may or may not come with the nut.

I think the thread is 3mm.

Dang, that is the part number for the plastic piece. Anyone know if the nut would come with? Found a 3mm but it rattles off. I couldn't find any locking 3mm

Use a lock washer, or tighten it against the plastic piece until it doesn't "rattle off." A new OE throttle cable comes with a regular, non-locking nut.
