final drivbe nuts
Turbo Mini Forums

sure i asked this recently but cant find the post...

i just changed to a sccr box and was swapping the final drives over, the sccr box uses a final drive nut with a smaller thread diameter. Does anyone know where i can get one or have one i can buy?

I am fairly sure it should be the same, as the pinion goes on the end of the original mainshaft that you re-use, so the nut is the same.

y i thought the same, but the nut from the older box just slides right over the sccr FD thread!

There are two types of FD nut. Get the correct one! :)

y BUT I CANT FIND WHERE!!!!

try dsn classics there pretty good bloody quick too or ask hogster he always seems to know!

smaller thread diameter

What size is smaller?? is it 100mm 14mm ?so I know what to look for and is it likely to be in an a or a+box

Metro turbo weekend driver,Mini turbo in the making again!

theres two mainshaft diameters, 18mm and 14mm, my old box obviously was a 18mm as it wont fit the 14mm in the sccr box. i'm not 100% sure but i presume the A is 14mm and the A+ is 18mm?

join up on minifinity dude and send a PM to 'icklemini' he does a lot of gearbox rebuilds and may be able to help you out, as i'm pretty sure he's got loads of spare bits knocking about. He built my s/c box for me :)

icklemini sounds familiar, i never been to minifinity before, time to pay a visit me tinks :)

YAY, icklemini dave has one! thx Bud

you are getting the wrong end mixed up, the a series main shaft has a 14mm nose and the a+ has a 18mm nose on the first motion end of the shaft.

i have come across this problem once before weres the nut wouldnt go on the shaft as it was slightly to small the reverse of your problem and they was both a+ main shafts. some were down the line there was a small number of main shafts which had a slightly different size of the norm wether it was lager or smaller i cant remeber all i

this is a rere occurance but it does happen.

although it does help in your
cause, i had to swap over the whole main shaft if i remebered right to get over the problem.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

just to clarify, its number 45 i was having probs with. Part 22G48 (UNF Nut).

just checked with ickle and he's sending the one i need, phew. The 1st motion nut is the same across the whole range apparently.

I'm still confused as to why you didn't have the right nut? As you will have needed to use a donor mainshaft to build your s/c gears onto, so presumably you would have taken that from a donor gearbox when it would have been complete with the nut!?

ah tom, you see I didn't build the box, and when I bought I didn't think to check it came with the nut, lesson learned.

i'll take a pic of the nuts when it arrives.

i wouldnt bother mate they both look the same just one will be slighlty smaller than the other i think ist about 1/2 to 1mm i believe but these are rare

the UNF is quite domed isnt it? Anyway was only for others reference.
