I'm getting ready to put my transmission back together.

I would like to use new nuts for the cases.
The original M8 locking type seem to be NLA. Here are what they look like.


What are my options? I would rather use new nuts than reuse the 40 year old ones.

Thanks,

Gordon

Those are special nuts with hardened steel tread inserts.
Normally you would replace a standard nut to get uniform torque.
But you already have the best in your hands.
If they are not damaged and spin on with your fingers (no binding) just reuse them.

If I needed a few new ones where could I get them?

Thanks,

No longer available buy new regular ones or see sean at autobahn.

I just came across this.

redlinetechnik.com has a kit available that contains 35 nuts, 35 wavy-type lock washers, and 23 sealing washers, along with a tube of Curil T sealant.

Glad you found a resolution, Gordon. I must say that the title you chose for this thread was quite an example of double entendre.
As one of the forum moderators, I cringed a bit when I first saw it, thinking maybe we had been hacked...

Tom, what were you thinking?
So that explains the "confirmation" code?

BTW. Apparently Those kits no longer are sold, but making one up wouldn't be hard to do.
