Couldn't you have just jammed two nuts up together? Also, I'm not sure if they come in small sizes but there are these really cool nuts called crimp nuts where the top of them is smaller so it fits very tightly on the threads acting like a locknut but it is all metal, no nylon. They are used on aircraft I believe.
