Help needed . Today Ive discovered that the top strut mount has collapsed.
Got a replacement but unfortunately cant locate a hub centre nut for the front hub. Does anyone have one they could let me have today? I will order several and you can have a replacement as soon as I get them which might be Wednesday ! Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Today I met Drew @datsundrew for the first time, having recently realised we live in the same town. Really nice chap.
I saw the Dolphin Grey A2with OSS that he rescued last September and has since given it some much needed love and attention.
Drew most kindly offered to help me change my A2's springs and dampers in time for my holiday given that I recently discovered that a garage some years back and fitted ones that were most unsuitable (too hard). Ordered the bits this morning with the help of @carlston Many thanks guys.

Ordered some Monroe Dampers / Shocks 23948 for my TDi 75. Looks like they don't come with the nut at the top. According to 7Zap its
I find the x1 strange.
An ebay search only finds Latvia suppliers at £20+ each! I tried searching for hexagon nut, self-locking M10 but there are so many variations of these: coarse; stainless, zinc; steel, tensile strength, nylock flange, serrated flange
A google search is only showing foreign websites and special order and discontinued. This is crazy for a nut! Are our A2 going to be driven off the road for want of a nut
Can anyone provide a source of quality substitute please. Thanks

Alan. Not technically the correct thing to do but reusing a nyloc nut is often done without a problem. A dab of threadlock on the thread if you want to be hoober sure
There is no guarantee that a pattern part is going to use the same size thread. Likely will be M10 but pitch of 1 or 1.25 or 1.5 are all possible
Any that I have ever fitted (and that’s a lot) have always come with a new nut

Good to meet you Alan, sorry about the impromptu dropping in, didn’t really intend to stop, but saw your car, and saw your wife in the garden, so it would have been a bit odd to have driven by
I’m away this coming weekend, but any evening next week is ok to get the bits on for you

today i swapped a knackered door check strap in my kia sportage; a job that would've been way beyond me a few years ago had i not first learned how to do it in my a2 via the wonderful advice / how-to / knowledgebases on this forum.
iv never been mechanically minded but in the short time ive owned alfie ive swapped out the door strap, swapped all filters, replaced all the springs and mounts and shocks - all thanks to the a2oc.

You've probably got them by now Alan but I fitted Munroe 23890 dampers recently and they had new nuts on them in the box.Ordered some Monroe Dampers / Shocks 23948 for my TDi 75. Looks like they don't come with the nut at the top. According to 7Zap its

My Bilstein that I fitted also came with new nuts.
