My re-painted WR1 is almost done now. The guy who's putting it together has found the R4 nut that came with the OFR I bought doesn't fit properly. WTF can I find a black R3? Nothing on google or ebay..

Those R3 nuts are hard to find! This guy is in the US, but I've bought from him before and yes these are original Floyd parts:

I've not seen the R3's at stew mac, not sure about the other sources._________________________________________________

Chances are if it's a genuine R4 nut and it doesn't fit, the R3 won't ft either. Those two have the same dimensions width-wise, the only difference being the spacing (R2 spacing, R4 frame, so to speak). Maybe you've a narrower neck on the WR1?Its all fun and games till you get yogurt in your eye.; -AK47

I thought for sure stewmac had these as well but as was pointed out, they do not have R3's.
Both of the above links will get you a Schaller/OFR nut. Both places are reputable and do international orders.

Sorry Wilkinsi, I should have let you know that I've found a black R3 nut in my shed. I've fitted it already. I also found a black allen key holder, a black toggle switch cap and spent some time boring out two domed knobs to fit the CTS shafts on your Warrior.

The R3 is slightly narrower than the R4, hence digging around in my shit heap of a shed for an hour trying to find one. I think I have enough parts to put together another 3 guitars. I also found a Kahler unit (off a Model 2) two JT6's (?) a J50 and a J90 and a neck off a Model 2...I really should tidy up a bit.
