Pinball Resource sells the acorn nuts but they do not list their size. You might want to give them a call at 845-473-7114. Good luck. Black Hole is a great game.
When I replaced the plastics on my BH instead of the metal acorn nuts I used the plastic colored ones from Pinball Life:

Easier on and off and look much better. I bought an assorment of black, blue and purple and matched them to the plastics and am really pleased with the results.
Worksop
Quoted from PACMAN:Found some in my stash but how the heck do I put them on? Hit em with a hammer? Or do they twist on?
Yeah they twist on. IIRC the playfield posts originally have just a blank end without any thread and the metal nuts cut their own thread as you tighten them down the post. That's IIRC

Has anyone ever tried making some light blue plastic acorns for Black Hole using white acorns and dye?
