Phono Jack deep nuts?

Question

Anyone know the name or a supplier of nuts for phono jacks that "deep". That is, the phono jack itself doesn't protrude through the chassis and the nut reaches inside the chassis to mate

"DonMack"** Disambiguation required.   1/4 inch phone jack ?   1/8 inch mini jack ?   RCA jack ??that "deep". That** I can only imagine you are alluding to 1/4 inch jack sockets with chrome threaded inserts.....  Phil

Try This?----No, it is a nut with internal threads. Essentially a cylinder, maybe about 1/2" long with internal threads and a flange on one end.  It sorta looks like the digikey one but it is simply a "nut" with internal threads.. It's used when the phono jack's threads do not stick outside for a simple nut.used on when the phono jack is mounted so that the threads do not extend outside the chassis. I've seen them rarely but they did exist at one time.

That's a phone jack. A phono jack is also known as an RCA jack:

So, to coherently answer DonMack's question, I'd need a little more clarification as to what he means.

In the interim, maybe he could look for a "recessed" jack, if I'm guessing accurately as to his intent.

Thanks, Rich

hattI've seen these, but I don't know what they are called.For some reason, I'm thinking I saw them in connection with Fenderguitars, or some other instrument?Try Googleing along those lines, or try specialty hardware stores.This isn't what I'm thinking of, but maybe it will shake somethingloose...Link:
