P38A Propshaft nuts part number

[Grrrrrr]

Anyone know what the propshaft nut part number is? I'm buying original Land Rover as thread isn't metric. I thought they would come with the bolts as a pack but Rimmer Brothers have the bolts as LR045409 but no nuts that I can see. The only propshaft nut they seem to have is NV112041L which looks more like the centre one inside the coupling?

Nuts should be ok if they tighten.

Prop shaft bolts and nuts are 3/8" UNF. Bolt 509045. Nut GHF223.

 

[Grrrrrr]

Wammers wins. GHF223 it is. Thanks. Formerly the part number was NY60641L (thanks to MrGorsky for that one.)

The ****part ones have metric threads.

Make sure you use the nuts AND the bolts that Island provide. I used their nuts on the originsl bolts a couple of years ago and striped the threads because they supplied metric nuts and the LR ones are imperial.

Prop bolts and nuts MUST be 3/8" UNF. There is no equivalent metric shank size.

Perhaps they were just **** nuts then? They only polished when I tried to torque them up, and becuase they'd polished I had a hell of a time trying to get them off again!

Maybe they sent you the wrong nuts. The only ones they sell as far as i can see are the correct nuts and bolts. Sounds like they were 10 mm nuts. And would have been a different spanner size.

Never though about mix mach,just used all new ..the nuts n bolts seemed ok for the price ,The problem might be if they ever need to come off

No, they come in a pack marked "Propshaft nuts". They do look like propshaft nuts but the thread is definitely metric. Got a couple of packs in my shed. Bought them the same time as MrGorsky but after watching his debacle I never used them. Sat here waiting for the nuts now ...

The prop shaft nuts and bolts sold by Island are the correct Land rover part numbers as far as i can see. They have no others listed. 3/8" = 9.52 mm there is no metric thread that size. 10 mm is too large and bolts would not go through holes.

Not without a hammer anyway?

The Land Rover ones go straight on the bolts. Those ****part ones don't. Just plain poor workmanship? Bad batch? Don't know but given 16 nuts from Rimmers is less than a tenner, do yourself a favour and get the real deal.

You can get 20 3/8" HT UNF Nyloc nuts on Ebay for £2.61 or a 100 for £8.41. Rimmer rip off comes to mind.

You're right but they're cheap enough not to have to worry about whether the grade of steel or workmanship is up to it. They're a slightly odd shape and a tad longer than standard nuts. I am cautious about the bay!

As long as they are HT and will take the torque they will be fine. Prop shaft flanges are a shear fitting not a tension fitting.
