I think people might believe that NyLock nuts are an improvement over the OEM castle nuts. I was suggesting that people should use the original castle nut and not NyLock nuts. As you know, the castle nuts are available to purchase from most any local hardware store! A couple of thoughts come to mind; don't reinvent the wheel and if it isn't broke, don't fix it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>John<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> -----Original Message-----<br>From: Bob Spidell [mailto:bspidell@comcast.net] <br>Sent: Sunday, November 24, 2024 6:25 AM<br>To: John Spaur <jmsdarch@sbcglobal.net><br>Subject: Re: [Healeys] inner A arm bushing nuts</p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Hi John,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>You could always pop down to the nearest hardware store and buy a 'regular' nut; 7/16" fine IIRC (but I'm not crawling under my car to check ;).
