mcc1979ian Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 2k8686l is the part number for the nut that holds the clutch flexi in place on its bracket. But £8 is a lot of cash for one nut. Does anyone know an alternative to this nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 LR Series quote about half that price but it's only a half nut. Take a standard nut of the same thread and cut it down. I don't 'know' the thread, but it is shown as for a late eighties vehicle (Defender 1987, 90/110, Discovery 1989 - 98, Range Rover Classic 1986 - 94), so I'd expect 3/8 UNF. What spanner size is it? If it's 9/16" AF then I'd definitely go for a 3/8 UNF. Edited to say I had assumed you would have a spare plain nut, in usable condition, just floating around, but if not, and you insist on a new Land Rover part, use NH606041L for a 3/8 plain full nut. If my sizing recollection is wrong, and it's a 7/16 UNF thread, then NH607041L is a full plain nut in that size. Just try a full nut for space; I suspect viability depends on whether the pipe nut will pull up tight without hitting the retaining nut on the flexible. Regards.

PaulMc Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 If you order it as a Triumph/MG/Rover/Mini part, without the 'L' suffix, it's 'only' £1.30 - http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-2K8686 Some other suppliers, slightly cheaper - http://www.minispares.com/product/classic/2K8686.aspx http://www.ukclassicparts.com/mini-spare-parts-and-accessories/brakes/2K8686.asp Even cheaper, here - http://www.tidyco.co.uk/store/online-catalogue/detail.asp?wh=21&product=2K8686&cat=01%20Hydraulics . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Iv since posting tried a half nut from a spare brake flexi and found this fits so just ordered a pack of 3 for under £6 I'd like some feedback on the size, please. It's seems pretty clear that I've misremembered. ... http://www.ukclassicparts.com/mini-spare-parts-and-accessories/brakes/2K8686.asp Even cheaper, here - http://www.tidyco.co.uk/store/online-catalogue/detail.asp?wh=21&product=2K8686&cat=01%20Hydraulics. The Tidyco link is 'interesting', in the way of a Chinese curse. The page linked to suggests it is a Metric thread; if you download the Goodridge pdf from that page it calls it "Locknut, 5/8” Whitworth"!! The UK Classic parts link shows it as "5/8 INCH UNF - 15/16 INCH AF SPANNER SIZE", which is more believable. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
