henk Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Where can I find online the nuts that go on the 11/16" x 16UNS thread to lock a sumo bar for a normal price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 They're a special size thread, so sensible price goes out the window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Gwyn Lewis I would of thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Gwyn Lewis I would of thought. My thoughts. Gwyn has always been helpful when I've needed bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLineMike Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Gwyn has them in stock but i think they may be about £5 each for the lock nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Quite cheap for a non commercial part then really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Try getting a price on the taps.......ouch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Henk, check if there's a Fabory near you. They're great for finding nuts and bolts with odd threads. You normally need a VAT number, but last time the guy just gave me the bolt because it was worth less than the effort to make an invoice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 One of them's left hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris113 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 As above, I have previously purchased them from Gwyn Lewis or Devon 4x4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 To give you an idea.... If you asked me to make a pair of nuts, assuming there was hex bar I could borrow in the rack. It'd cost you about 220 quid because that's how expensive the taps are for the threads.... Pay Gwyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henk Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 For info, they are £1 each from Paddock. They are not listen but they can be added to an order by phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Are you sure they're the right thread? I thought the sumo bars were a different thread to the standard rod ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris113 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The Sumo bars I've fitted to 2 different vehicles used standard Def/Disco TREs. The old Equipe ones used oversize TREs...3 years down the line I still can't find an end that fits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henk Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 @Ross: I also bought some lemforders and they fit on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ah perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 They take standard TRE's....always though a bit odd to have a much increased track rod but leave the same standard bits on the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 They take standard TRE's....always though a bit odd to have a much increased track rod but leave the same standard bits on the end It's probably because the rods bend long before the joints give up.
