or take to hardware store and get a normal metric nut to fit on --or do you have the piece that broke off??? then remove the odd shaped brass nut off of the broken piece and screw it on, POINTED END OF THE NUT FIRST, and you may catch enough threads to be able to adjust the length to keep correct time
