    I found a suitable nut finally. Turns out I did have one.. I need to have a big reorganise.

    The pedal still isn't right though. The cog is spinning on the pot and the wah effect is intermittent. So there must be bad connections somewhere. I guess I'll keep fiddling.....

    Sounds like the Wah Pot is a bit dirty (a pretty common issue with Wah pedals since the Wah pot tends to have it's shaft rotated a lot and they wear out over time), what I would do is order a new Hot Potz of the correct value online, Realtone Music may have them in stock, I used one to replace the dirty intermittent Wah Pot in my Jim Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Wah pedal and it fixed it completely.


    I just remembered that I've got a Jim Dunlop Crybaby Wah pedal that's fully working, I'll post a pic of the insides once I find it.
