When disassembling my Abbington built Longbridge 1006- BN4 I found strange looking lock nuts om the pan rod (2) and on the front sway bar (4). I finally found out they were Philidas nuts and the style is Turret. The company in England didn't have a supplier in the US ahd sent me the quanity I needed. Subsequently I found that British fastners had them. Can anyone verify that other models used them? They are the same style (different size) as the rear hub locking nuts on wire wheel cars. They look like a std nut with two lock washers attached to the top. Thanks,
Mark Shaw
 
Mark I hope not since the prices can be equal to or greater than $ 400.00 US/Box. For smaller quantities I have seen them priced at $20.00/Ea---Keoke

Can't tell you how impressed I am that anyone even knew what he was talking about! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif
 
I googled them to see what you were talking about. A couple bucks each on the web, min order 5.

I have seen those somewhere on something, hmmmm.

Hi Mark,

The BJ7-BJ8 factory parts list also shows them being used on the Pan rod and front sway bar links (fastener code starting with LNZ). Another application is on the front suspension A arm to spring pan bolts. If one is searching for them they are also called Aerotight Stiff Nuts. The ones holding the wire wheel rear hubs are a bit different as they have a conical surface that mates with the beveled holes of the hub.

Cheers,
John
