Armstrong rear strut inserts
Posted: Fri May 10, 2013 6:10 pm
My car has new 20 year old Armstrong strut inserts!! I bought them some time ago during the 30+ year restoration of the car I am now retired and have the time to complete it. 30+ years is a long time to keep track of whats been done and what parts are where. I have lost one of the strut castellated nuts. I have measured as best I can the thread on the strut and have determined that the overall OD is 0.683" and the TPI appears to be 16. Does any one know where I can obtain a suitable castellated or Nyloc nut to fit the strut insert thread?
Im sure that I will be confronted by many other issues, but this is the one that is preventing me progressing with the rolling chassis completion. I have owned the car for 40 years its a 71 FHC sprint that had covered 31k when taken off the road in 1975, its been stored and stripped in the intervening years.
Please help me see it roll before I move on to the great highway in the sky!
Thanks
