Locknuts

Hi,

Does anyone know the depth of the locknuts that go on to the front upper hub carrier drag link ? Mine are 14mm - seems a bit large !!

Cheers

Hi Peter ,

My nuts are 8mm in depth :eek: :D

also known as "half nuts"........sounds about right for me :D

I take it thats the measurement you mean? and not the size of the drag link thread?

cheers

I am going to cut mine in half using the bandsaw:eek: by screwing one onto a piece of wooden dowel and clamping that in the bandsaw vice.
