Lower wishbone to upright cut-down nylock nuts

[Tony C]

Anybody recently built a 7 with widetrack front suspension (SV) or replaced their lower wishbone.

 

The new cut-down nuts I've just recieved from CC are different to the ones I have.

 

My existing nuts are turned down for about half their length to a diameter that is a nice snug sliding fit inside the spherical bearing.

 

The ones I've been sent have a step in the turned-down portion; the smaller diameter on the end is a bit too small and the larger diameter next to the hex is a bit too big for the bearing.

 

I'm trying to check with CC, but can't get through to parts at the moment.

Just managed to get through to CC spares eventually and apparently the spec' has been changed recently to give a bit more clearance of the nut hex from the bearing
