My 1951 G2 Trials

[murdo]

Have taken on the resarrection of a 350 Royal Enfield and has been robbed of most of the engine case nuts. Has anybody got any suggestion as to where to get nuts from in Australia for a reasonable price? Thanks.

You could try Classic Fasteners in Adelaide: https://www.classicfasteners.com.au/

Do you need anything special, or just plain nuts?

Tread carefully here ?

I don't know about the G2 Bullets, but earlier Enfields had those nuts turned down a shade at one end,
so as to go into the CIRCULAR recess in the timing cover. This means hex nuts won't go.
But they may have changed this arrangement for the Bullets ?

Hitchcocks in the UK would have the real deal.

I think 30 and 31 are what is required (no quantities listed, so cannot be sure.)
They look like just plain cycle thread 1/4" nuts.

Luke at Britcycle.com.au had them NOS at $1 each, cad ? plated.
You'd have to chase the washers - stainless ?

Interesting sounding project. ?
Can we see it when done

Thanks for the replys. I have been looking at  them (classic fasteners) and are a bit shocked at the prices ($2.70 each for plain zinc coated 3/8 nuts) compared to what I buy locally (either metric or unf/unc) for a dollar a handful. I guess that is the price of something rare. Was hoping to buy locally, or even in Aus, but the cost of postage is about the same from UK so will think some more. Other wise buy a tap and some hex bar and make my own.
This engine has been for a swim at one time and left with the water in it. My sandblaster is going to get a workout with this one.

Nookys Nuts in the UK is another supplier who specialise in British threads. Nuts are correctly chamfered on one side only. Small bag of mixed BSC nuts is £12 plus postage.

Nooky's Nuts have excellent product. I haven't tried them lately, but mostly, worldwide, postage to Australia has gone from reasonable (pre-covid) to prohibitive. So many things I can no longer source at a half-way reasonable price. What a pity!
