Got one of those new shiny acorn nuts to hold the steering wheel down on my 641. Visually, looks to be the same as the old rust & paint nut that it will be replacing. However, the new nut won't screw on past a thread of two. Threads on the shaft are nice, and very clean, and the old nut runs down nice and proper. Just the new one acts like it has slightly different threads.
I saw from the catalogs that it is supposed to be 11/16-20 threads. Wondering if I got one that was made with an 11/16-16 of 11/16-18 instead. Hard to see a difference between the threads of the two nuts with the naked eye.
Any of y'all heard of a bad batch of acorn nuts? Heaven forbid I put that old thing back on there. Gotta have a nice shiny new one!
Thanks,
Kevin
