    Question Locking Nut 109085 Size?

    Can someone please confirm what the two top locking nut (109085) sizes are supposed to be for the rear suspension please? There seems to be some very sloppy measurements being offered on the DeLorean.com store?! I'm pretty certain the width across the flats is not 21/64" as shown on their website?

    Thank you!

    Update. Looks like the two locking nuts are 9/16". If someone could confirm that would be great. Just for any future folks looking for the size of the 109085 nuts.

    Shame none of the DeLorean parts resellers offer any dimensions to the parts that they sell.

    Well they're trying to get you to buy it!

    The original parts manual often tells you the size of the hardware but not the thread pitch.

    Yeah exactly. Why would they list hardware specs, they would never sell any.

    If you want to cross reference, you need to be resourceful and independent.
