I will be going to my local nut/bolt expert on weds for a load of 1/2"UNF stuff.... I can see if he has them and get them if he does? U2U me on Tuesday evening if you still need them and I will see what I can do!

Get some std ones and skim them in your lathe to the thickness you need?

cheers Tegwin.

Flak, I have a bag full of standard ones and have skimmed a few and yes they will do the job but I would sooner just have the half nuts

Lathe? That's for wimps. A locoster would get some coarse W&D and lap them down to the required thickness in a couple of days!

Yes they do make them. They use them on the maxi ball joints for a start.
