Title: Links axle nuts wanted Post by: TomR on February 19, 2009, 23:25:41 pm My SAW axles has links threads (both sides!!) - anyone who got nuts with links threads laying around - mine are a little bit worn out...
Dont ask me why i got two links - but i guess they changed/broke one axle in the earlier days - and it has worked over and over and over in a heavy Ghia so dont see any reason to change them...

Title: Re: Links axle nuts wanted Post by: Neil Davies on February 20, 2009, 12:15:36 pm What's a "Links" thread? German for "left" - rechts is for right IIRC! However, I thought both sides were right hand thread? Only front spindles are handed threads? Title: Re: Links axle nuts wanted Post by: TomR on February 21, 2009, 02:01:59 am Thats the crazy thing...i bought this tranny used - but the threads are left hand on both sides...and i have two left hand nuts too - i am sober - i promise....!!

A bit heavy on the sauce there Tom? :D :-* ;D
Title: Re: Links axle nuts wanted Post by: stealth67vw on February 22, 2009, 05:21:21 am About 10 years ago Sway-A-Way sent out a bunch of axles that had left hand threads on one axle and right hand threads on the other one. They realized their mistake and sent out left hand threaded axle nuts to avoid recalling thousands of axles. I would contact Sway-A-Way and see if they have any left hand thread axle nuts.

I better try to call them to check out that tip too...
