Hi John, there’s one more type of nut that is found on the deluxe and twin cam car holding on the axle and brake rotors. It works the same way as the nylon but uses a stainless steel top hat that twists into the thread and locks it on. I’m missing some and hoping you know the name of them and perhaps where I can find them. Thanks for all the great videos!

Thanks for the information as always great.

You recommend using the prevailing torque nut rather than the brass nuts?

Why doesn’t someone market a fastener packet for the B with an assortment of all the components, nut, bolts , washers say 50 or 100 packs ? I think people would pay for that convenience

Someone does, but when I mention the name of the vendor, my post gets deleted.

Thanks
Maybe breakup the name into parts on different lines ?

I’ll give it a try. It’s an ‘auto supply’ shop in Coventry. Starts w/ wrights.
