Description of problem (please be as in depth as possible): Looking to swap my doors tomorrow, and new doors dont have any nuts on the hinges. Hoping to use the existing nuts from my doors, but as they are in the wheels arch and I understand the can get rusty and knackered, I was thinking I need to get some replacements incase I cant re-use mine, so need to know what size to get, does anyone know?



Any non-standard parts that might be involved with the problem?

1/4" UNF Nylocs will do the job. Get some new flat washers too while you are at it!

Thanks, is there an M size equivalent? M 6, M 8, M 10?

There is no such thing as an equivalent metric size. The closest to 1/4" is M6 but the threads are totally incompaitable so still wouldn't work. You need 1/4" UNF nylock nuts as previously mentioned

If its any help to you im pretty sure the nut size itself is 7/16"

1/4" UNF thread size and 7/16" AF across the flats or spanner size....
