If you start out with a piece of 1 1/2" X 1/8" strap steel as I did, keep in mind that the tip will need to be thinned a little to fit into the groove of the nut. In my case, the 0.130" thick strap had to be thinned to 0.103", or about 27 thousandths total to form a good fit.

Best of luck if you decide to proceed with the repair.

ETA: While it may be obvious to most; I should add that a Crescent Wrench will be necessary to provide the required leverage.
