Wiper nuts - nothing special?
« on: 30 April 2015, 20:38:34 »
After a slight weather based incident, resulting in my plastic tub of nuts and scuttle clips being launched across the road, I need to replace the two nuts on the wiper spindles. Before I buy a couple, they're not a silly thread size or anything are they? Just bog standard 13mm nuts? :D

Think they are thinner than a normal nut.

If it,s a standard 1/2 nut (M8) you should be able to get them from any good fastener stockist. :y
