What size is the nut holding the steering wheel on?

Putting a Moto Lita on and don't want to take all my tools down to lockup as I'm still not able to drive.

Its a Dec 73 Car

Thanks

IIRC it's 1 1/16" AF, maybe someone else will confirm.

Look in the mirror

[milothedog]

Works Manual states Steering Wheel retaining nut 11/16" dia x 26 t.p.i torqued to 3.3 - 4.4 kgf m - might have to take a small selection

That's the thread diameter and pitch.

large adjustable spanner works for me

True was thinking on line you could confirm nut size - anyway popped out to garage & a 27mm socket fits steering nut if you don't have a imperial socket which as Ian said is 1 1/16" AF.

Unfortunately Neil, with our good old imperial system it doesn't always work out, i.e. 1/4 UNF = 7/16" spanner, 3/8" UNF = 9/16" spanner and so on., especially with larger size's or special applications such the steering column

Have you misplaced your mole grips then Richard?

[CV35Ian]

T'was a simple question, and some both useful and amusing answers.

Thanks,
