A good place to look for this kinda part is to google/bing/alta vista it. I searched for: "jam nut 4mmx.7" and got about 24,100,000 results (0.49 seconds). If you searched with a bit more info ( type of materiel, finish, hardness, [anything else ], you could wade through less potential sites. Still, not too onerous, and just shipping to your doorstep away.
