@kanaka2503 is this the nut you are referring to?

The three nuts on these adjusters are all the same - 5/16UNF
I always swap the nuts for nylocs, and use a spring washer.

...sorry the pic is a Dommie, but the part is from a Commando, and it's the clearest pic I had to hand.
 
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger, it happened to me too. I believe it is 1/2" American. I built one while waiting for a new one, took a little time with a hacksaw and a flat file to make one that worked.

The upper gearbox mounting bolt is 9/16". The lower mounting (pivot) stud is 1/2".

However, two types of upper mounting bolt and nut were used on the Commando (not including the 850 Mk3).

Early 9/16" x 20 tpi CEI (not Whitworth) bolt with special head fitted on the LH side and hexagon nut:

And later hexagon head (Edit:18 tpi) UNF bolt fitted on the RH side and special nut from eng. 204214:
