Crank Flywheel Nut

Post by SoloFrenos »

Another odd one this, just received my new flywheel nut from NLM but it won't fit on! It just goes tight straight away as if its the wrong thread/pitch, did they change the thread at all over the years? (mine is a 350 excalibur crank). The threads on the crank don't look damaged at all.

Thanks, Tony

No, they're all the same.

Is it an OEM nut, or one NLM have had made?

Either way, let NLM know.

It looks like one they've had manufactured. Spoke to Stuart and he has checked others he has in stock and it seems a bit hit and miss as to whether they fit. It appears there is very little tolerance. So at weekend i took off the existing one of my original motor, and that one fits on the new motor and the new nut fits on the existing engine, so i can just swap them over, problem solved.
