Default Where to get truss rod nut?

Anyone know where I can get a truss rod nut for a Yamaha fg 180 nippon gakki, pre-1981 model? (ie, access in the headstock).

The nut is so chewed up, it makes it really challenging to get a screwdriver to stay in the slot.

Thanks.

Its actually a 5/16 external nut, dont use the screwdriver slot, just use a normal 5/16 socket and all should be good

5/16" or 8mm. Either should work.

This wrench works. https://www.allparts.com/LT-4958-000...ch_p_2228.html Only $5 plus shipping. It's 0.20" longer than the vintage Yamaha wrench but it just fits in the pocket.
