Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2008 4:08 pm Post subject: Swinging arm nut |
|
|
Managed to strip the thread on the swinging arm nut - got over excited with a new torque wrench.
Long and short of it - I cannot find a replacement nut anywhere. Just wasted two hours sitting in a traffice jam in order to go to Hyperbolt. Got there and they said ' sorry mate, dont do those. Looks like a M14 - very unusual'.
Does anyone know where such a nut can be found, or even what size and thread pitch it is? |

Hi, Sorry, can't help with the size or thread pitch, but just about any size is available from online suppliers these days, Pair of verniers and a thread pitch gauge will cost about a tenner on flea bay. Alternatively, bring it here and I'll measure it for U |

THanks for the offer Oily
To ease my guilt I was hoping to get a similar replacement to the nut I threaded. If not, it is not the end of the world as the nut is hidden under the cover.
Just rebuilt the bike and this is the only thing I broke, so not feel too guilty..... |

Okay found the size and a source. It is a M14 x 1.5 and the source is Probolt - they only do this nut size in Titanium and are out of stock at the moment. However, got hold of a couple of nyloc nuts the right size so can at least use the bike. |
