fitted my carbing strut bar the other day and im concerned by the threads on the shock turret mounts...

 

 

as you can see, the thread isnt into what i would class, in my line of work, as 'in safety'. 1.5 threads should come through or its a no go. should the carbing have a different type of nut to fasten it down?

I purchased new nuts from Nissan when I fitted the shocks so they are OEM spec ones and look the same as yours just a nice goldish colour.

 

yeah thatll be the cad plating... they deffo have the stepped internal thread that you can remember? dont understand why mine differs. my only thought at the mo is that series 2's had shorter studs on the top mounts! :confused:

i've been informed by another member who has a series 2 that he had the same problem as myself and had to turn the nut land down 2mm. it settles my mind that i have no abnormal parts fitted!.. there must be a variation of the upper mounts somewhere along the line. need to find a lathe now...
