This question is asked quite a bit on here, most recently by me.

I have been and sourced some nuts for the `85 UK made plastic hubbed tuffs that were strewn all over MK this year.

the size is-

3/8" UNF 24 TPI.

if anyone has the `Definitive' sizes for other ones, older, newer, rear, coaster etc, please post them here, I will add them to the list and maybe a kindly MOD could add it to the T&R stickies list.

I could only get full nuts yesterday, but am trying to locate a box of flange nuts (hens teeth), which they would have had OG.

Track nuts are always dear, 4 nuts cost the same as the 4 skyways I bought!!

I paid £2.50 for 24 hex nuts, they'll do for now!!
