FT: Frame (Twin) Nylock nuts

[Mike 40M]

As far as I know, BSW, BSF, UNC, UNF and Metric Nyloc nuts are quite easily to obtain. So I have no problem with my Comet. Though it's not needed as my Comet don't vibrate noticeable. But some of the Nortons and the Velo do vibrate a lot. Anyone knows if cycle thread nyloc nuts are available?

Check a Vincent after it's first Race, Everything will be loose !.

I suggest a change to a Manx. Only nut I dropped this season was due to that I forgot a split pin on the clutch lever. No loctite used at all on the bike.

Usually they are are available in the UK - at a price. But several of the suppliers seem to be out of stock at the moment. One that still has them listed is:

Surplus Supplies

Bsf / Bsc - Polished stainless steel and zinc plated nuts, bolts, washers, screws, self tappers etc., based in Newark, UK. We try to have as much as possible for car and bike restoration.

But that is not to say he still has stock...
