Track Rod Ends
Lola - 1/4/12 at 04:25 PM

Hi can any one help?

I've just ordered some new Nyloc nuts for Track rod end's M10 1.25 Fine thread but they don't fit.
Have i ordered the wrong thread or have they sent me the wrong size?.

IIRC they are 7/16 UNC or UNF - give me 20 mins and I'll shoot into the garage to check.

Total b*llocks ^^ they are 3/4 either UNC (most likely) or UNF but you should be able to tell by looking at the thread whether it's coarse or fine.
Note to self : buy some more self locking t/end nuts!

It may depend on who made the track rod ends ? the only safe way is to measure the thread using a set of thread gauges and a vernier
