Going from locking nut to non locking

[Willis]

I have a neck with a lock nut on it, but I'm no longer going to use a locking bridge. I vaguely recall seeing a retrofit nut designed for the purpose of switching form a Floyd nut to a non locking nut, but it was a while ago and I'm not even sure if exists. Does anyone know of such a nut or have a different solution?

most people just glue in a Gibson style nut.... that way you can go back to the floyd nut no problem..

I might have to do that (or I could just leave the Floyd nut in and leave off the locks). I might just be imagining the nut designed for this...

I found leaving the Floyd nut in place without the clamps lead to tuning issues...
