   This is not a standard sized nut.  The device you are looking for is   
   specifically threaded to fit the Schrader valve.  If you google   
   "Schrader valve nut spacer" you should be able to find such a thing.   
      
   Otherwise it would be easier to talk to the company that made the extender.   
      
   You could cut your own on a lathe if you had the right gears available.
