Tie rod locking nut

Post by what2do »

The nut that locks the rack once the tracking has been set, mine are a little rounded and I was wondering if these are available separately. Alternatively, anyone know what size/pitch they are? Thanks.
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

M14 x 1.5 is Metric Fine so not 'off the shelf' so to speak. The sizes and thread pitches are normally available on Vagcat :ok
