Schwinn continental

I have a yellow schwinn continental I am putting back in service. One of the wings nuts on the shifter lever attached to the handle bar base is stripped. Anyone know where I can get one of these?

If your local bike shop has been around for a while they should have many of those in their junk box, might even give you one for free. If not, you can always get them on eBay, for example currently you can get two for $12.29 here, or one for $9.45 here.

If it's really old then, sometimes it's cheaper & easier to just put a whole new part on it. Old Suntour stuff is still available and, it's totally bullet proof.
