Anyone remember me on about fitting a new prop t"other week? Well ordered a new prop off ebay came without nuts(9/16) so set about trying to get some from local shop and thats where fun began... Landys been off the road ie parked up for close on 2 weeks cos no one stocks these nuts or TWICE theyve sent me the wrong ones!!:mad: I actually feel like throwing the f***ing computer im that annoyed! Local hardware shop i tried ordering them from i even took the old ones in to show them!!:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Im f***ing fuming and cant go fer a pint cos im brassic too!!!!
 
9/16 are the spanner size not thread size as are sold in they are 3/8 unf in the same way an 8mm nut has a spanner sizeof 13mm and 10mm nut has spanner size of 17mm etc
 
Yeah James i see what you mean but i would have thought the fact i had shown one shop the actual old nut and told the online place the spanner size i may have gotten lucky.

As it is i now have 16 nuts none of which are in the correct size!
 
you would be lucky to find someone who understands thread and spanner size in parts shop nowadays,so you will end up with 9/16 thread instead,if you get stuck nick a couple of diff there the same size,on from each side

he could have gone to websters in platt bridge near the lights, they do all English sizes and are dirt cheap. i fot a few unf and unc for a job yesterday:rolleyes:
 
Would have been easier to order them off a landy spares site on interweb.

I must have been lucky, popped down to my local landy specialist and got 8 nuts for a £1 donation in the charity box
