Darren I hate to say it but she left a long time ago.
there is no nut, the moveable jaw is dovetailed into the stationary bottom frame and is threaded for the Acme Rod that opens and closes the vise. And the vise isn't big enough to warrant putting soft jaws on it except to keep it part for part with the original that it was copied from. Jaw width by the time that its cleaned up will be around 1.8 inches, not like the owner is going to be banging on it with a sledge
