Nut on torsion bar

Post by Moggie94 »

What size nut do I need for the threaded end torsion bar?

Nothing I've got fits and "torsion bar nut" isn't throwing up any search results. :roll:

Item 83 from Moss. Doesn't say the size unfortunately. It's a fair size - I had mine off last week - 7/16 BSF thread at a guess.

I wouldn't have thought it was a s big as 1/2" - but if they say so! Moss are not usually the cheapest - but they do frequently have 15 or 20% off days - and they have various depots around the country - maybe one near you. They also have by far the best diagrams !

Hi All
1/2" BSF thread, 7/16" BSW spanner, on mine.

Still smiling at the great time I had at Cornbury Park.
