Need help identifying nut

[XDEEDUBBX]

So I just came back from some midnight bashing with my cousins emax. We crossed paths and all of a sudden my MT just ate that emax up and squashed it like a pancake. The emax was fine LOL but I lost the nut that holds the turnbuckle bolt in place:








Anyone know where I can purchase that nut or order it from?

It's an M5 nylon lock nut. You can get them at any hobby shop or hardware store.

deluge to he rescue again! I will check out home depot today!

dusty, me too man.

not an M5 lock nut...its smaller..back to the hardware store

 

[Deluge1]

My bad, dude. I just took mine off and hit it with the caliper, it's an M4. Should've known better than to trust the manual.

its cool, I should have looked instead of being lazy lol. Need to go back to the hardware store anyway, saw some tools on the cheap...

Whats the easiest way to remove the bolt thats on the turnbuckle?

 

[Deluge1]

The ball end screw on the steering linkage just pops out. I use a hex driver and press it out.

 

[XDEEDUBBX]

M4 it is!

Lesson learned, always keep your nuts tight LOL

to be honest everyone should invest in a £20 tray of alsorted allen nuts/bolts/washers of ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stainless-Allen-Head-Bolts-Small-Sizes-M3-M4-M5-x1000-/110299433188?pt=UK_BOI_Metalworking_Milling_Welding_Metalworking_Supplies_ET&hash=item19ae5bc8e4 i know its UK but im sure you guys over in usa can find this alot cheaper

i brought a tray when i got my redcats, very very handy to have(i replaced ALL the cruddy nuts/bolts before they threaded/rounded) and i havnt come aross any nut/bolt that i don't have in that tray yet. (other then grub screws)
