Yes, on second thought, they are 3/8-32 and I did find them just now on McMaster. Searching for "Panel Nuts" is more helpful than potentiometer nuts. I don't think I'll be springing $3.08 for them, though.
I thought the originals were probably s/s and wanted them if reasonable, but will probably go with plated ones otherwise. The ones on the controls of this harness are in pretty bad shape.
Thanks,
