ATS spindle help

[akrapovic]

Hey Guys,

I just received my Tall afx spindles. I ordered these bare without the hub assemblies due to back order status. Looks to be a great piece but I have a problem. I am missing a "Steer arm Flexloc Thin Height Nut 1/2-20 - CAD plated." I have no idea where to purchase one. I would call Tyler but I know he is busy and I figure I can pick one up on my own for pretty cheap.

Thanks in advance.

Tyler should be back some time tomorrow. If you don't find one quickly call him! He's not to busy to take care of you.

McMaster Carr has them, give everyone an open account. I get my stuff overnight, they have warehouses all over the US.

Thanks for the replies gentleman. I believe I actually need the hub stud nut that is described as flexloc thin height nut m12-1.75.

Is this the same one?

Once again thanks in advance.

if that's the correct thread then that should work. I would measure the height of one of your existing ones to make sure 15mm is correct, but that's the only one in that thread and style that McMaster offers.

The flexloc nut is .375 so no go on that part. No answer at ATS, also for some reason the voicemail is not working. Ah well I'll get a hold of them sooner or later I suppose. This is fking ridiculous I can't find this flexloc anywhere.........If anybody gets a hold of ATS please post, others have been there but it is annoying to have such a small part hold up your project.

I think they were only going to be open on a part time basis now, that may be why you can't get a hold of them.

You can use a grade 8 stover nut on the steering arm bolts (make sure the threads of the bolt are past the nut) and then use the flexloc on the hub bolt where you need the clearance. This should let you progress while you work on getting the flexloc. Don't use a nylock - too close to the brakes!

Woohoo,

Spoke to Tyler. He was very helpful, he advised one would be on the way shortly.
