66' TR4a irs, steering nut size
My Tr steering wheel column threads and locking nut are not in the best shape, somewhat loose...yes, still holding. I understand there is not much load on the steering, but does anyone know :
what the exact thread size for the nut? it looks like fine thread. Counted seven threads in the half nut ( 1/4 in. )
Took the nut to the hardware store but could not find a match.

...especially now that I understand the problem! :blush: Oh, and be very careful with the shaft threads. If you damage them, you'll be off to a specialty store to find the right die or thread chaser. It is truly an odd thread that you probably won't find in Sears or Ace Hardware!
