Can anyone please help me?

Thank you everyone. I shall start by taking the shaft to Longos as ColinC suggested. I am also very grateful to Rach for identifying a UK site that specialises in LH threaded nuts and says she is willing to organise one for me. if I am unsuccessful at Longos. I must also acknowledge the interest of Record and their assistance in the problems that I have experienced.

Is this the point in the conversation when all us "manly" men go off to the pub in our lumberjack shirts, because, if it is, I´m afraid I can´t play out - I haven´t a clue what you´re all talking about, but it´s obviously an enjoyable pastime....

try a part off a part off a Stihl streamer !!!

Good Luck

I've just put a 'bush cutter' onto a Sthil strimmer, and this needed a l/h thread nut, about 3/8, but what thread is, I don't know, sorry.

Go up stairs in Longo's office ask one of the girls to ask Agustin, if he hasn't got one he might make one for you..His men there make allsorts of parts for his vintage cars!..If not I'll bet he will know where to get one..

Could always try Tetley I believe he 's got boxes of odd sized nuts! He gets 'em out up the 'Blue Oyster Club' I'm told.

you could try a turnbuckle in local ferreterias. cut the threaded end of and fashion into a nut. you might be lucky.

Surely there are enough nuts on the Forum to find what you want????

Hi

My Dad has pondered this and suggests anywhere that supplies machinery that spins, but its the size you may struggle with, Belzunes in Huercal overa do many types of machinery and spare parts you could try there, it is on the bottom road of huercal overa. He will also check his tool box.  ;D ( try a part off a part off a Stihl streamer !!!

Good Luck

It is for the main drive shaft of a Record Lathe. The shaft is !/2"" diameter and for some reason the end part has been milled down to take a 3/8" thread. Normally this would have been an 1/2" nut which Record can supply. It is difficult to say what the thread is and I would have to take the spindle to the nut to see if it married up.

I guessed Gus and Steve would come up with suggestions and I thank them for that.
