Struggling with wheel nuts that back off mid-race? This metric flanged nylock nut solves that with its innovative nylon insert design, gripping threads securely even under extreme g-forces.

• 8mm x 1.25 pitch for precise fit on kart axles.
• Flanged base spreads load, reducing stress on mounting points.
• Essential for retaining wheels in bodywork and weight setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the thread pitch for this nylock nut?

A: This nut features an 8mm x 1.25 thread pitch, which is the standard size for most common kart axle and mounting applications.

Q: Why should I use a flanged nylock nut instead of a standard nut?

A: The flanged base acts as a built-in washer to distribute clamping force over a wider area, preventing damage to your components. The nylon insert provides a locking mechanism that resists loosening caused by the high-frequency vibrations and g-forces experienced on the track.

Q: Can these nuts be reused after removal?

A: While they can be reused a few times, the nylon insert loses its locking effectiveness every time it is threaded on and off. For critical safety components like wheel retention, we recommend replacing them if the nylon insert no longer provides noticeable resistance when threading by hand.

Q: Do I need to use thread locker (like Loctite) with these?

A: Generally, no. The nylon insert is designed to create a secure friction fit that holds under vibration. Adding liquid thread locker is usually unnecessary and can sometimes interfere with the nylon's grip.
