I lost the wing nut off the top of one of my LTS-6 light stands and I can't find a replacement that "fits"... anybody know what size / threads (US, Metric?) I should be looking for??

call out service dept.tommorrow between 9-5 PST and they can either yell you the size or send you some replacements. Welcome to the forums. Sincerely,
Thanks, James...
I did try the service dept but they were not able to offer any spare parts or info regarding my question.
I did realize that the nuts that hold the par cans to the truss are the same size so I am thinking I can repurpose one of them and then use a replacement bolt/nut from local hardware store to (re)secure the par can to the truss bar.
I also tried looking up the bolt head "markings" on the web and found some hits re "china" bolts (which makes sense, I think). It seems like the "4.8" marking is a reference to the "grade" of the bolt... haven't been able to find the "C5" (or "CS, not sure) reference but am thinking it may be a "size"... not sure.
I can't believe I'm the first guy to lose one of these wingnuts!
As noted above, I have a fallback plan but any addt'l help would be appreciated.

Uncleboz,
You can order the bolt with wing nut from our parts site, part #Z-UBNA, but I'll find out the size for you either way.
