I've got good axle u bolts but with somes nuts missing, anybody know the nut size?, also are the same nuts used elsewhere on the car, thanks.

Originals were a BDF size, probably 3/8 I think.
New ones probably won't be and could be AF or metric. Worth checking before you order new nuts for your old bolts.

Thanks but did you mean BSF, never heard of BDF before.

Yes, sorry it was a typo. D is next to S on the key board and a lot of the letters are getting worn off on mine! Should read BSF as in British Standard Fine...

I may be telling you what you already know but each leg of the U bolt has two nuts fitted, a thick one, which goes on first, followed by a thinner one that locks up the first nut.

Or use nylocs....... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-8-BSF-NYLOC ... 3f22017b9b With free post - probably the best bet!! Put two on each leg if you wish........

Yes, If you're not worried about original equipment use nylocs, in which case forget about two per leg!

Got some good strong split washers which will do.

3/8 BSF (with 5/16 WHITWORTH sized heads).
