Dodge DA Differential Castellated Nuts

[nirringa]

Can anyone advise me where to locate two 11/16" castellated nuts for the axle ends on a 1929 DA Dodge differential. Anty help appreciated.

In your post you don't say how many threads per inch. This is a fairly coarse thread size, I can't remember right now what it is exactly. Also, are you measuring the inside of the nut or the outside diameter of the threads on the end of the axle shaft? I think that it should be 3/4" instead of 11/16" in any case you might want to try fastenal.com they're not too bad for finding what you need.

Hopefully this was of some help, and if anyone knows the torque spec. for the rear wooden wheels on the 1929 DA, I still need to know, thanks and good luck, Pep.

I just mic'd the end of the axle shaft on my 29 DA, and the thread size for the shaft and the castle nut is 7/8"-14. They do stock these at fastenal.com but I would try the Yellow Pages and see if there is a supplier for nuts and bolts locally, I am fortunate enough to be driving distance from "Acme Bolt and Nut".

Hopefully this is helpful for you in finding the right nuts, good luck, and let me know how it turns out. And again, anyone who may read this, if you know what they torque should be be for the rear wooden wheels on a 1929 DA, please share.
