Hi,

I've just changed a steering rack gater on my 91 escort and I'd now
like to replace the track rot end retaining nut with a new nylock nut
(replacing the split pin retained one that came off).

The trouble is it's not a standard metric thread (it's much finer)
which means I'll need to order one in and I've no idea what size to ask
for.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,


Pete.

IIRC it's just metric fine. If you only want one the cheapest place  
probably is Fords part department
