Smithers Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Can anyone flog me a JIS M8 x 1.25 (12mm a/f) Nut? They seem to be rare as rocking horse sh*t where I am. I need one to use as a locking nut for a clamp. I can spend loads of money on ebay and get far more than I need, so hoping to find a generous Japanese bike owner who might have one. The standard metric M8 nut has a pitch of 1.0 and (13mm a/f) which I can't use. Halfords, screwfix, toolstation, b and q, all scratch there heads and say no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbeef Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Theres loads of m8 x 1.25 nuts about, however most seem to be 13mm a/f.

I don't want 10 and I don't want to spend £10 for one nut.The 1mm a/f is irrelevant, it's the thread pitch I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
