Different front spindle clamp nuts???

[MrTibbs]

Hi,

Apologies, I've posted this in another thread as well, but I'm in need of help.

I've changed my front right spindle on my 924S for another (second hand) one. I've hit a problem - the clamp nut from the old one doesn't fit on the new one. Basically it's a bigger diameter and the thread is what I'd call 'finer' (there are more threads on a given length of nut).

I didn't get a hub with the spindle, just the spindle itself. All the rest of it seems to fit fine - the brake mounting is in the same place, and the hub seems to be firmly on the spindle (though the washer that fits into the groove on the spindle has a larger inside diameter than the spindle which means it can move about a bit).

I've looked at the Pelican catalogue and can see only one clamp nut. Do I have a spindle from an earlier/later car do you think? and what size etc clamp nut should I now be looking for?

Thanks for your help - it all seemed to be going so well earlier.

Mike

Could it be a later model 944 spindle?

I think the 924S used the 924T & early 944 spindle. I think the 944 made a change, different wheel offsets, etc.
