Or use a thread locker like Loctite (red)

Thats idea, but they do need a crinkled washer to stop them coming loose. I have found a Chinese company that can supply them. Minimum order of 500 but price is only �0.25p, howerver lead time is 5 weeks!

Can you get the jack posts in a female-female version? ie no male thread
stud.
Maybe you could use these with a very short countersunk screw to hold
them in place. They should then fit a standard backshell.

You can also try google *image* search and hope you stumble on something.
The only D-subs that I can recall seeing with riveted jack nuts/posts
have been "PCB mounted".

Thanks, maybe that is my solution, need to find an appropriate 9 way d shell as this is for a production cable.

The (*25* pin) D shells that I have sport "ears" for the jack *screws* on
one end and "no ears" on the other.
The "no ear" end can be filled with a plastic plug that makes it look
like a regular D shell (intended for a single connector with a *cord*
exiting from the "plugged" end).
Remove that "plug" and the back end will now support another D connector
(the shell's body -- sans ears -- is just as wide as the "business"
portion of the D connector so the connector is held in place *by* the
width of the shell).
Many decades ago adopted this as a "universal solution" to the myriad of
25 pin cables that littered most of the shops I'd visited/worked for.
Each "widget" bears a clear label that describes the role of the
wires *within* (the widget is effectively a 1.5" long cable).
Male Gender Change (plug onto a female connector and you end up with a male!)
Female Gender Change (plug onto a male and you end up with a female)
Null Modem
PLIP
Primary Channel
Channel Swap
25-9 Pin
etc.
Plus some "device specific" adapters that make oddball devices "look normal"
The advantage to this approach is that I can store a bunch of these in
a desk drawer and "extend" them with 25 pin, M-F straight through cables
to create a cable of whatever length embodying whatever "adaptations"
the STACK of widgets mated to it define!
(Not suitable for production use but a real time-saver when you're trying to
get two things to talk together!)
Apologies for not shrinking the file a bit. I figured you could "zoom"
more and inspect some of the detail that might be lost if/when compressed.
Likewise, sorry for my consistent inability to take close-in shots, well :<
<http://www.mediafire.com/view/ugc4evqe56bjgbj/Widgets.JPG>
Note the three pieces upper left assembled into a "regular connector shell"
in the lower left. The "ass end" is omitted to make the widgets -- you
can see the molded grooves ~1/8" in from each end of the shell halves
that grip the edges of the D connector...
Note, as well, how the jack nuts exist outside of the body of the shell
(widgets in foreground and background). Also, see how the body of the
rightmost D connector is visible "through the side" of the shell for the
widget in back...
To put connectors with jack nuts on *both* ends of the widget, you have to
remove the plastic shell "ears"

I am trying to source male 9 way male D connectors solder bucket/cup with riveted female jack posts on the front face so I can make up RS232 extension leads that can be screwed together. I know you can get Jack posts that have a nut to hold hem in place, but the problem there is that the nut will not fit inside the D shells,
any help would be greatly appreciated.
