Where to Buy 10mm x 1mm Half Nuts?
Duncan_P - 20/4/07 at 04:56 PM

Hi all,

The flexi's that came with my kit (bought parially from someone else then taken apart) seem to be missing there half nuts, which is a little annoying

So does anyone know where i can get some 10mm fine (1mm) half nuts?? Namrick dont seem to have any listed in there catalogue.

It is 10mm x 1mm for sierra flexi's isnt it?

If you have trouble finding some how about using a couple of brake pipe nuts cut to size?

Yer i had thought about doing that.....Its currently my fall back position if I cant find anywhere to get some half nuts

Ford sell thin m10*1mm for brakefittings.

Wouldn`t calll it half size but it is much thinner than a standard m10.

Thanks for the info, wouldnt have thought about going to Ford DOH!

Means another trip to Frod spares dept....

Me: "Do you have any m10 x 1mm nuts for brake fittings?"

Parts Dept: "What reg is the car its for"

Me: "I dont have one its for my kit car, but if you look under sierra you should be able to find it"

Parts Dept: "Im sorry sir ill need a reg to look up on the computer"

gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

PS so thanks owelly i might look at you suggestion just to save my blood presure

edit - but might have to look elsewhere to save my wallet from a bit of a bashing

My local fords is great, tell the bloke i require brake clips, no idea what car, look through 5 cars, find one and order.
Other places as before: "sorry too much work for me".

Thanks do the info everyone....

If you did have some knocking around gazza that would be great as i didnt get a chance to go and do battle with ford today......beer tokens awaiting

10x1mm half nuts found, looks like I've got about 80 left, form an orderly que.

What are they worth?

dude on ebay as mentioned by calvinx recently sells halfnuts at £4.50 for 10. McGillmotorsports

Sounds fairly reasonable, bound to be cheaper than paying most other places...
