Not having a dig at you !!!:tea:

Loads of posts on the forum refer to the spanner/socket size instead of the thread diameter.

As has been posted on here, best bet is to take the nut or bolt to an Engineering supplier or motor factor at a push and they will identify the thread size and type. It will be cheaper than a Main Stealer or from Ebay.
Motor factors, Ironmongers or DIY stores tend to stock standard bolts rated at 8.8 tensile strength which are too soft for propshaft attachment-they should be at least 10.20 which is classed as High Tensile.

:)

i'd have thought 8.8s would be more than adequate
 
i understand where you are coming from re wrong nut, but you can tell easily that it's the wrong thread as it'll only do a couple of turns.

you would have had to be giving it a bit of welly to wind them down past that.. should have set off alarm bells

i usually just go to the local fastener place. works out cheaper too.

It isn't far out. And they go on fine as far as the nylon lock so you think, ah, the mylon is starting to grip so I'll get the wrench going ... ooops!
