[Healeys] Tie Rod End Slotted Nuts

[Charles Schott]

The thread count appears to be 15 TPI. I have a 14 and a 16 TPI gage and it's between those two. Since a 12M X 1.5 die runs all the way down the threads, albeit loosely, and a 10M X 1.5 tap goes all the way through the slotted nut, again very loose, I think that it's metric. The diameter measures 10.97 MM with calipers and converted. I have not been able to find a 11M X 1.5 nut, let alone a slotted one. I have three of them but need three more. 

Regards, 

Charlie

Charles, 
What is the thread per inch count and the major thread diameter of the ball joint (measure with a vernier or micrometer)?

My car is CE# 226706 and I have a limited set of BSF taps and dies and none of them come close. 

The 12M X 1.5 die goes loosely all the way down over the stud threads. When I measure the diameter of the stud threads, they measure 10.97 mm. You tell me what I have. 

Regards, 

Charlie

Charlie, 
If your car is prior to C.E.#228931 the castellated nuts for the original side and center rod ends will be part #2K3996 which I think is 7/16" BSF, (I don't have one to hand to check) however many of these ball joints have been replaced with the later UNF style over the years and they use FNZ307 7/16" UNF.

I need three slotted nuts for the original tie rod ends on a BN1. They appear to be metric 11M X 1.5 but I cannot find them. Does anyone have them or know where I can get them? Thanks. 

Regards, 

Charlie
