The internal brake mount nut supplied with my R3 SL/Wolf Sl fork will engage only 4 threads on my Campy Record front brake. Campy says 6 threads miminum. The local (60 miles 1 way) Cervelo dealer doesn't have a longer/can't get a longer nut. The one that was supplied is 29 mm long. Any ideas where to get a longer one?

Yeah when I switched from a Trek frame to Cervelo, I had to search for a new long nut and ebay was where I found it; in particular from that Torontocycle seller.

Got it, along with a few other fun things I don't need but want. Dangerous place for sure.
