M10 x 1.25 PITCH NUTS
I have discovered that my bike indicators have the unusual thread of M10 x 1.25 
So, does anyone have 2 spare nuts with that thread for sale?
Cheers
Daz

That's not a rare thread - it's "metric fine". It's just that the stuff you get in the shops is usually "metric
coarse".
Any decent industrial fastener supplier should be able to sell you some, if you end up having to buy some. One supplier I do know has metric fine is
Clerkenwell Screws, London, as that's where I wandered in to get mine!

BTW: I find that motorbike shops/garages are good places for stuff like this...

Yep, I realise its not uncommon, I have coarse 1.5 and ultrafine 1.0 nuts here at work but no 1.25  (and no taps to make 1.0 into a rough 1.25 )
I think a lot of eastern origin stuff uses fine threads as I recall my Subaru had a good few also.
The problem is only needing 2, postage is 5x the cost of the parts  It goes against the locost grain

Can't remember for sure but reckon mine are a push fit into the tubes so I am not using the nuts hence in theroy I should have 2 knocking round,

Sorry! Didn't realise you already knew the difference! The expression "Teaching granny to suck eggs" comes to mind...

Many of the Japanese makers use the different types properly, according to needs. Us general public find it harder to get the parts...
I know what you mean about delivery charges - it's a PITA to have to pay a huge minimum P&P for just a few items. Vehicle Wiring Products
are bad for this, when all you want is a few connectors (but I also understand why they do it).

02GF74 - Yes ours are similar except we are not using an extension, fixed directly to the nosecone, hence the need for the nuts
David - LOL Yep for my sins I am a Mech Engineer, if I had a lathe with threading capabilities I would make some myself
