I upgraded my trailer brakes to disc but have lost/misplaced one 7/8"-20castle nut. I know the standard 7/8" nut has 14 threads per inch. I've called trailer shops, auto parts house, industrial part shops, fastener specialty shops, axle repair shops, and a host of other shops with no sucess :(. I mic'd the diameter and used a thread gage to establish it's a 7/8"-20 spindle/nut. I can't believe that no one carries this nut. Anyone know where I can buy one? Sorry for the poor pic quality but was foggy this morning when I took it.

I found a nut on another trailer down the road yesterday.
Thanks for the link though.

Ayuh,...

That'll make an Exciting Trip if ya Didn't....

LOL:p .

Yes I did leave a note on his door with my phone number asking if I can buy the nut and he called back saying that he appreciated me asking rather than taking :D. He gave me the nut and I promised that I'd replace it when I find one. He said no rush being that the trailer hadn't been used in many, many years.
