Nylocks on Cortina Uprights

I am using nylocks on my front cortina stub axles as I couldn't find a decent set of castles. They work on a sierra, why not a cortina.

Just check that the thread goes through the lock. Some joints seem to have shorter threads than others, don't know why but I have seen cases where the nuts have had to be cut down.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

My Cortina bottom balljoints and transit tops came with nylocks. Work fine.

If the thread's long enough for a castellated nut, I'd have thought it must be long enough for a nylock.

IMO

I am talking about on the spindles. I think I have just about secured some wheels.

Just rebuild my cortina uprights and mine didn't have castellated nut's either, just normal nuts with a locking cover that held the split pin, so I'm guessing a locknut should be fine, with a dabble of locktite just to be sure.

Sorry I read it wrong!!

Sierra is a different setup and uses a left hand thread on the nearside to counteract rotational loosening. My hub nuts (Cortina) have a castellated cover that the split pin engages, not the nut itself.
