Replacement VHF aerial locknut?

[Murv]

Sorry, bit of a daft question I know...
Some kindly soul has nicked the locknut that secures the VHF aerial in position.
Is the locknut a standard item or specific to the make of aerial? I can't see any manufacturers markings on it but obviously need to replace the thing, it would be nice to not have to pay out for a complete new aerial!



EDIT: Sorry, can't get the picture to work for some reason, but the link shows it.

The bit that's missing is not part of the aerial, it's part of the ratchet mounting bracket - looks like an old Glomex bracket. The nut is just like the one lower down on the same bracket.

Superb, thank you.
Does the aerial screw onto the threaded part on top of the bracket then, if so, are they all a standard size?
So, this would be a suitable replacement?

The aerial will screw on to the top of the bracket yes, and they are mostly a standard 1"x 14tpi thread. The Glomex in the link should work just fine.
