Wadkin ags 10 Lock Nut

[Fitzroy]

Been out to the shed and taken a bunch of photos and measurements best I can of the nut from my AGS10 it’s an early model with the spindle housing integral to the swing arm.

From what I can tell the thread on the spindle is square, the nut definitely has a narrower root than crest.

Thank you for the pictures. This is exactly the same as my one. Not fully checked the measurements but looks right. I will ask to return it with few pictures of other square spindles for proof.

I think @Bingy man has a pint that’s not been buttoned down. I agree with the assessment that the threaded section of the spindle looks bent. Please check it out before committing another nut. I’d place a metal ruler against the threads (after a good wire brush) and with a light behind the ruler look for any gaps indicating it’s bent. Check again at 90 degrees to the first test.

Have to say it was @Distinterior that -1st noticed this , the op has checked it though and says it’s the camera angle if I recall.

Yeh I checked and it was straight to my plastic ruler. Never checked it with a proper rule though. John Mills (DoubleBoost on youtube) currently has it and seems pretty confident he can get a nut sorted.

Hope it all goes well for you

perhaps the spindle assembly has been swapped out by another owner?

That was my first thought when I read Sam's post #60......
