BN7 Front Hub Stud Nuts

[Alan W.]

BN7 front brakes - Are the hub stud nuts (hub to rotor) a special nut or standard 7/16-20? If standard, are split washer used?
Thx,
Alan

Alan,
No split washer. The nut part number is ATB7265. Since it doesn't follow the naming convention for 'common' fasteners, it's special in some fashion. I probably used an all metal AN/MS lock nut with a flat washer. Not an odd-ball thread. AHead4Healeys shows the style I used and Cape-International shows what I believe is OEM (an aeronut?). Both all metal lock nuts.

No washers are used. Regular Ny-loc nuts work just fine.

Because of the shear application, I used AN grip-length hardware sourced from Pegasus Racing (likewise, you could get them from Aircraft Spruce, or maybe even at your local smalltime airport.

There's solid shank passing through both flanges (hub/rotor) and only enough threads to satisfy the nut (fine adjustment is accomplished with .030" & .060" washers.

I used these for my hubs and driveshaft flange fasteners, and any other applications with shear loads
