does any one know where you can get the larger style wing nuts for the side arms of the wd pannier frames???,im making some sets at work and am having trouble finding the right looking wing nuts,cheers
hi john,cheers for that,its just that im making about ten sets of frames so will need around forty of these wing nuts and being larger than the modern types there a bit hard to find but i will keep looking,cheers mate
Hi Adrian..My M20 has the larger type of wingnut (on its original carriers)..however, I bought some NOS carriers for the WB30 and these had the smaller ones.It seems both sizes were used...Ian.
Ariel used the same type of wing nuts on the rear brake of the rigid/early plunger models, with the same thread(1/4x 26). Available at your usual Ariel outlets.
Cheers, Mick.
I'd like a few pics of the pannier wingnuts & fibre washers please. I'm trying to get my bike back in shape. I bought it outta the crate in 1970, sold it when I joined the Navy. Four years later I found the bike in a garage sale.
I'm looking for all sorts of pics on details, like mounting the tool box. I need the tool box mounting strap if you have one spare.
the wing nut is recessed so that the thread has a small fibre washer to stop the wing nut coming off can send some photos if you like
Roger, yes some pictures please, specially of fibre washers, just looked at some pairs of panniers, and they all have lock washers on them, see also the big/small nut, and 2 types of lock washers:
