Hi list,
I bought some new cotter pin nuts to go with my new cotter pins as part of
the front suspension rebuild. However, I decide to use up my 'old stock' of
cotter pin nuts. Only problem is I don't seem to have a spanner the correct
size
so I measure the nut across flats and find it is:
8.16mm or 0,321"
According my handy chart of these things the nearest imperial fraction is
21/64s. Next nearest sizes of 8mm, 5/16 or 11/32 are all no good.
Now, the new nuts are:
7.91mm or 0.311"
Which the chart reveals is just under 5/16" and the spanner is a good fit.
So what size spanner fitted the NOS nuts and does anyone who is a concours
fanatic want me to fish them out of the wastepaper bin and post them to them?
Regards
