You can go with a simple stepped nut . They often come on threaded presta valves. Your local LBS may even have a bunch of them hanging around. This kind also works. I have some rubber ones that never worked all that well. They are difficult to put in and tend to get pushed out when mounting the tire.

PM me and I’ll send you several different versions.
