nuts

[The Radman]

anyone know the size of the nuts on the steering rack tie rods,look like m12 but no idea on thread size?

[Cochyn]

12x1.5 I believe

m14x2 nick

[Dave]

17mm head usually equates to M10 Nick, no idea on pitch though but it's fine, max 1mm

[Cochyn]

Hmm, mixed results, not helping him are we

I honestly thought they are M12X1.5, assuming he means the tie rod end and not the balljoint bit that goes into the rack. But I'll check later when I'm home to be certain.

[Dave]

Maybe we're all thinking of different things?

I'm thinking it's the track rod end that connects to the steering arm and the hub via a castelated 17mm nut

[Cochyn]

That's what I'm thinking. Just checked...

M14x2

i was way off

[miggs cosworth]

nick if your on about track rod end into the hub its 10x1 originally fitted was castle nut with split pin, if your on about the lock nut to adjust the tracking then that's 14x2 cheers

[The Radman]
