b14 rear nuts

[dRk]

I got a set of bilstein b14 without nuts for rear shock absorbers. The current nuts do not fit, they are on a larger thread. What are the nuts that fit the rear shock absorbers? Did you get the set without the nuts?

I can measure them tomorrow for you if you want as I have a pitch gauge at work but I think they are 5/8 unf.

If you could, then I'll be grateful.

Ok, I made a mistake. Well kind of. It's actually M9x1 pitch. But what threw me is the nut has a white nylon, which is normally imperial thread. Metric is usually blue, sometimes green for finer threads. I do use a 5/8th spanner though which I think is the equivalent to 16mm in metric.

Anyway, some pics and a quick vid to help :smile:

Thank you very much for the exhaustive information. I will have to drive up to the turner tomorrow.
