Default jam nuts

i am currently replacing my tie rod ends on the 2.8 but they were frozen on there pretty good, using pb blaster and heat and my retard strength didn't free em. so i decided to use the dremel to cut off the jam nuts and figured i could just get some at the hardware store since they didn't come with my new ones(ghetto). So long story short i cant find any of these jam nuts that fit or have the right thread pattern. Does anyone know where to find the right ones online or anything?

Pull the boot back and take off inner tie rod. Then use a bench clamp to hold and separate...
