Thanks for looking - looks like I'm heading to buy a tap - to use just once on a half nut.
Maybe I'll be able to sell it afterwards on here...

He said a 7/8 unf nut goes on and that's 1.8mm pitch.

Yea, if you can find that and measure across the flats then we can help you find a replacement for it

i was more wondering if i had any brass large enough to make one, but i fear i may not as it is likely 32mm AF, so larger across the points and my largest stock is currently 30mm...only stuff i have larger than 30mm is a 60mm bit of en8 thats waiting to be turned into a collet chuck

Are these different to the nut you're trying to replace?

SJ606 NUT for DOOR HINGES (8 per car)

It's hard to tell from their photo, perhaps not big enough. Though I presume you've tried the various Lotus specialists before posting.

I don't know how to individually quote comments from various people on one post - so this is a reply to "qwakers" - "BrokenBiker" - "hotponyshoes" and "droopshoot.

Please see photo for across the flats measurement in mm -

Nut No.1 is one I have lost
Nut No.2 is the Chinese M22 x 1.75 which has insufficient depth in the thread for which I am trying to find a tap to run down.
Nut No.3 is the 7/8" UNF nut which runs down the male thread fine but has considerable axial and radial play - ie: it is "loose"

"Droopshoot" - the SJ Sportscars link you show is for the nuts on the original hinges, which is why there are 8 per car, or 4 per door - I do still have the remnants of the original hinges, (after cutting them into pieces to get them out), and can confirm the nuts as shown on your link are smaller.

"Qwakers" - I am 100% sure it is a 1.75 pitch and 1.5 or 2.0 - which as you point out are more common.

I only have round stock to 30mm at the moment, would need to be atleast 36 to get a good hex cut into it for 32mm AF.

I figured you'd have checked the obvious places first.

Thanks for this - I'll give it a go next time.

Do you have turn-ups in your workshop trousers / overalls?

Joking aside, I sympathise. I'm still looking for a bag of dash gauges I was given for a project car that I've since moved on and has now been scrapped. Not a small bag, by any means, but it's disappeared. Oh, and the bag of interior trim offcuts I was given many years ago, and the pile of A3 sheets of clean cardboard I bought for making templates. All pretty big items, all vanished without a trace.

I have just ordered a second set of 1 1/2" cup brake cylinder rubbers for the 1944 Austin, the first set are resting somewhere! had the same issue with core plugs for the engine, second set arrived the day before the first set decided to stop hiding................................
