    I've got an outdoor rotary dryer, the top nut or cap has gone, without it, it's difficult to put up. Brand is windshield, there's no thread.

    ON teh left of your picture is a toothed washer on a horizontal bar - that is what is missing. Sometimes they are in fancy caps and yours may have been. Go you a car spares store - an independent to the big shed type, and ask there. Take an accurate measuement and you should find one.

    Failing that, if it slips again, drill a hole across the top "pin", and use a sideways pin through it to hold a regular washer on to the top.

    a pin like this through the hole drilled is what i mean:

    My hair style doesn't support hair clips, being folically challenged these days!

    Quite correct, I was on the hoof on phone so adding full detail was challenging!
