half nuts, full nuts or pistachios?

[Bill Hentzen]

G'day fellow nuts! As the good Roger has explained, 5/16 drum nuts on a 3/8 stud-why ? 3/8 thin is his excellent suggestion. My adversion to rust has lead me to use stainless and I have found that : D.Middleton, Unit 5,Lady Ann Mills, Lady Ann Road, Batley, W. Yorks,WF17 0PS has them available at 44p each for 3/8BSF thin. He no longer lists the 5/16 flat head countersunk that are the fixing screws on the drums, but one could enquire. Tel: 01924 470 807, Fax: 01924 470 764. A fax with Visa # has the bits here in Wisconsin in less than a week. He has a nice catalogue with all kinds of BA, BSW, BSF plus metric and bike stuff. Question: where does one find those 3/8 wide flange split washers that seem to have been used under the drum pistachios-the green nuts. Cheers, Bill

Bill: The split washers are hard to find. A 3/8 or 10mm wave washer works just fine. Ken TC 4147 Bill Hentzen wrote:
