				Nut Size
			 
			
			I find that the M12 hex nut is missing from one of the shock mounts on my car's rear bumper. I wonder, does anyone here know what size this is? Is it a nylock nut, a Porsche-specific thing, or will any old generic nut (of the proper size, of course) work just fine? 
		
	
		
	
			
				Thanks - Jon

			It's M12 x 1.50- you're referring to the nuts that hold the shock onto the chassis, yes?  These are M12.  The nuts that hold the bumper onto the shock are M10 x 1.50 
		
	
		
	
			
			
				
					Nothing really special about either of them. A nylock or deformed thread (smushed toplock) nut will work fine. I know for certain the original M12 nut is a toplocker. If you used a plain nut your bumper shock won't fall off....
