What do you call this "nut"?

[fried1765]

I saw these on Amazon a while back while looking for something else and now I don't remember the proper name to search for them.
I need to buy some for my joystick. They have threads on 4 sides so you can mount the joystick facing up or out.
What's their name?

My question is where can I get replacement rubber boots for that same style valve?

Standoff nut? But drilled the way these are will be hard to find...
looks like it would be easy to fabricate what you want

Buy two. Weld one across the end of the other.

Or weld a bolt on the side of the nut. Depends on the gender of your hardware.

Or, drill and tap the side of the coupling nut...

That didn't go over well the first time:

You could drill and tap threaded couplers also.

It is probably number 18 on the parts breakdown I posted, wish it had part numbers but at least there is a phone number you can call.

I have solved my problem. I got my neighbor to bend the control rods 90 degrees in his press and I am then extending the rods with a coupler and threaded shaft as lmold did in post #2.

Thank you for the suggestion!
Part #18 is actually part of a complete handle kit.
I only need the little rubber dust boots.
Three complete handle kits is way too expensive ($100+) to get 3 little rubber dust covers/boots.

Thank you for trying, but that style boot is not the one I need.
