Wishbone nut
Hopley89 - 24/12/13 at 10:35 PM

I'm in need of the m20 nut if that's what it is . For the upper wishbone adjuster !?
Is it m20 half nuts I need !?

From memory most kits use the Transit drag link and that's M18x1.5. Also from memory Tiger used a thicker M20 joint but that is not as common so check first.

On mine I did indeed need half nuts as an M18 full nut is a chunky fastener indeed.

Now you can hold out hoping to get some from some one on here or there is good old ebay. Now many balk at the price but they will be on your doorstep in a couple of days meaning the job is done.

If you meant Haynes book rear upper wishbone adjuster, then it indeed uses M20 half nut.

Don't think I like the word cheap used with suspension parts!

Being an awkward bar steward I took a pair of m16 nuts and bored them out to 18mm on the lathe.

I then tapped them out to m18 fine.


This gives a nut with 24mm across flats which sits nicely against a 25mm dia drag link and…
well it just looks right.



I am typing this on my eye phone while hiding behind the sofa.
