Propane tank wingnut

Anyone know where I can purchase the large handled “wingnut” for the center rod securing LPG tanks and tank cover?

The one I need is ˝”-13 thread. I looked at a new Airstream (nice!), they are using a smaller size wingnut now (3/8-7/16”?)

“Local” trailer supply house only sell the newer smaller diameter style.

Anyone have one lying about?

Here’s Hazegreys photo, I need the wingnut in ˝” -13



Thanks, Walter

Contact CG Trailer Service at this webaddress. I use them as many other Airstreamers do. Rob is fair and honest.
