This was necessary because the two plate sandwich increased the thickness such that a factory nut couldn't pull up on the radius arm thread. ISTR the thread is 5/8 x 16 WF, as per the halfshafts.
Thanks Stuart
I knew I had a couple somewhere... mixed up with some Speedex wheel nuts... Hugh also sent me a drawing showing the original nut design. Definitely another victory for the Archive!
