what is the thread of the tie bar nut at the cross member end, the larger nut that needs the 22mm spanned, also is it possible to get nylon versions?

What is the pitch of the thread? A standard M14 is 2mm but the tie bar looks 1.5 or 1.75mm.

Thanks again

EPC just lists a standard M14 nut. It does not give a thread pitch.

Are you just In need of a nut or you want new ones I've got used ones here

I need them for the rally car, for some reason the standard ones come loose with modified tie bars and lowered front mounts. I got some nyloc versions from a local hardware supplier in 10.0 steel. I found that they aren't a standard M14 they have a finer 1.5 pitch.

Can you not put a split pin through it ? Or another nut after it to lock it in place ?

Double nut would be easiest if you have the thread available.
