Look for industrial pipe compression fitting stockists - Thorite being one. They stock them.

I just made mine! a length of the same bar as the wishbone tube with 2 flats filed on seemed quicker and easier than trying to source them!

Would it be possible to use K nuts in place of nylocs? The squashed looking aero locking thingies, if I got the name wrong.

aye, but that's just it, time taken to make 6 of them, then put the flats on (really would need to be hex anyway to guarantee access where they
will be fitted on the "back" of the wishbone) etc etc then getting them zinc plated and passivated etc etc etc..........
easier to buy em and save the hassle for the bits I can't buy!

If the ones Volvo has are from Lolocost you could cut them down and make 4 thin ones Part them off on the lathe.

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

I just turned down some full nuts as the half nuts seemed to be difficult to get.
With some carefull hacksawing you can get two for the price of one
