Anyone have a broken iOttie mount laying around?

Now that I’m not on the graveyard shift anymore I’m back to going to the Goodwill Outlet near the office. I thought I broke my addiction to that place, but no, I’ve been there twice in two days. This is going to be trouble...

Anyway, today I found two thirds of an iOttie CD-slot phone holder. I’ve got the part that goes into the CD player, and it works. Almost too well, but then again, I shouldn’t need to remove it very often since I have the same six discs in there that I put in four years ago and the changer doesn’t seem to have a problem switching discs with the mount installed. I also have the part that grips the phone, and that too seems to work fine. I searched all around, but what I couldn’t find is that nut that holds the two of these pieces together. As I just discovered, that nut isn’t the same size across different iOttie mounts, so I can’t steal one from a different mount to get this one to work, nor can I mix and match parts between the other mounts. :(

So, does anyone have a broken one of these mounts sitting around that they might be willing to part with? As long as that nut isn’t broken, of course. I know I could buy a whole one for $10-20, but I’d like to see one or two devices that were written off as scrap come back to being useful again.

Take it to home Depot, find the diameter and thread pitch and find a nylon nut that fits.
