611 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Anyone know where you can get the track rod end locking nuts for the A series or the size so i can track some down? As im unable to locate the safe place i put mine in 🙂  I found these but im not sure if the size is correct for the A? https://www.roughtrax4x4.com/track-rod-end-lock-nut.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxYGylr3b3wIVw4TVCh1J-wxvEAYYASABEgKkkfD_BwE  Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that wind up and lock the track rod where it comes out of the steering rack. Think i might have found one, but need to take the track rod out to see if it is the right one. If it is im just after the one! 1 hour ago, ®evo03 said: Dont know what an A has, if same a B, they are castle nuts, locked with a split pin.  Not sure on the B, the A has the castle nut on the ball joint but a slim nut to lock the trackrod arm after you have adjusted it out from the rack.

H-400 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I think you mean the one in the red cirkel: On a "B" (other design but compareble) it is a 14mm thread, if so we are yet sure what nut it is. Than we can dig further, so let us know.

That's the one 🙂 I have one which looks like it should be right so i will give it a measure and see if its the same size and then i should be able to get a couple of new ones.

611 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Just thought i would update this thread in case anyone stumbles across it, as i hate it when you find a thread and no one puts on it how it was resolved! I found these and they fit perfect on the A series. https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/half-nut-m14-x1-5-bzp.html  Andy  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
