Track rod end probs
I am trying to fit these to my 7 but when I come to tie them down the nyloc just keeps spinning round making it tricky to tighten... Anyone got any
tips...
Probably an easy solution, but I am full of cold and not thinking straight. 
Cheers for any help..

Weight them up a little by putting a bottle jack underneath, don't lift the car on them, just enough to jam the taper
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

No pic, but if its what I think it is, try putting the jack under it and put a bit of the cars weight on it, that should lock the taper.
I'm full of cold too.
But I like to call it "man flu"

Or find a plain nut with the same thread, and use that to tighten the joint up first...
Dont just build it.....make it!
