Did you read my reply? I gave you a finis code of a Ford nut. If you want a quality product then go for an oem one everytime.

    Update:

    I’ll be buying the bolt from FORD.

    I want to pair it with a nut - correctly ( no guessing). I need to know for sure - that any NUT I source - has the proper/correct pairing for that particular thread pitch.

    How to verify that a nut - is the correct pairing for a specific bolt - is where I’m getting stuck.

    Granted it needs to be a flanged lock nut. I need to understand how to establish, that the threads of the bolt & nut are indeed correctly matched.

    My fear is that there will be quite a few nuts that will seem to fit the bolt - even though they are the wrong pairing.

    How do I ensure any Nut I get - is actually the right one?

    So you're buying a bolt from Ford.Why wouldn't Ford supply an appropriate nut if you ask? 🙄

    Update:

     

    Bolt is definitely:  M12 x 1.75 pitch thread - grade 10.9 steel.

    However the nut is definitely not just another ny-lock nut. It uses a different system - with some other insert - in place of a nylon one.

    I suspect this specifically chosen because of the extreme vibration the joint goes through:

    Can anyone help me identify this type of lock nut nut - and help me find the correct variant?

    Cheers

    Presumably it avoids using nylock due to the heat from the weld.
