home depot is close to your house...

but City Mill usually has a better selection of metric nuts...

talked to Terry from ground control and Home Depot normally doesnt carry that size...

home depot carries 14x 1.75 not 1.5

i guess its off to try a couple places, and if not, then im heading to the hobby shop to take apart my old rear shock assemblies, and take those nuts....

ill try home depot, city mill and any other hardware store I happen to come across...

thanks guys... if any body wants to come help, your more then welcome too.. :) just give me a buzz.... all sorts of goodies I'm working on today.. :)

i just took it up to ed's and used his air ratchet, and took apart the stock struts and used those nuts with some loctite... thanks again ED :buttrock:buttrock

home depot didnt have them
and neither did City mill, I checked both places, and no luck

How do you know, you bust a nut? :D

Ace is also very good as they seem to have some obscure stuff.

every now and then... :D

Ace is on the expensive side, so I never bothered to check out their nuts

Isn't there a Fastenal by Home Depot iwilei?

Oh, Cal, if you don't want the nuts to loosen, put a bit of caulk in between.

You local auto parts store should have a selection of nuts. Try Federated Autoparts/CarQuest we get a lot of random bolts from them.

checked more than just home depot and city mill today, and still NO ONE had the right thread.... its all good though, just re-used the old ones, and put some loctite on them... should be good to go
