I am now working on the rear axles of the 1911 Stanley Model 63 that I am restoring. I need to find castle nuts that are 7/8"-20. Any suggestions on where I can get these?
Thanks,
Alex Beamer

CASTLE nuts,,??What do they hold,,Dont recall any holes for cotters,,,,Ben

Dear Ben, Alex needs castle nuts to retain his wheel hubs on his rear axle shafts. Apparently Alex has that size of thread on the ends of his axle shafts for his 1911 Stanley model 63. He needs castle nuts which use cotter pins to keep the nuts from loosening on the axle shafts. I would think that most any good automotive parts house should have the 7/8"-20 tpi castle nuts on their shelves. Wouldn't you think so too?
