Threads and locking nuts
MK9R - 3/3/03 at 03:44 PM

I'm sure i read on here somewhere about how many turns of thread should be sticking out from a the nylon of the nuts. I used a washer bothsides of the wisbone pivots and this only allowed one turn of a thread to be showing. Is this a probllem for SVA?

If it's sticking out the other side, I would have said it's fine, if you're particularly worried though, drill a hole through it, and put some lock wire through it.

As a general rule of thumb, the length of thread protruding through a nut should equal its diameter.

ISTR that Mr SVA wants a minimum of two threads.
