Thanks for the prompt reply.

So now we have the dimensions. I`m wondering if there is a Chinese provider of these “hexagon nut (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1312.R1.TR10.TRC2.A0.H0.Xhex.TRS2&_nkw=hexagon+nut+plastic&_sacat=0)” on Ebay:
High: 4,75 mm
Ø 17,45 mm

Reichelt`s price is fine but their Porto system is not really thought through if you only want a small plastic “hexagon nut” and live in same country. -> 7€ < I can buy 200 pcs incl porto and throw away 199 pcs and still paid less than on Reichelt.

Looking at a Nuts dimension chart:

What size would work? (I cannot find/convert it into a normal nut size with ISO 4032)

Sorry i don't know.
Except measuring it and buying the right one i don't know what to say.

The one i put in the kits are provided with the jacks.
