I need to buy a couple of nuts to fit the tension bolts on my PW Top Tension 7.

The haven't stripped the flange thread yet but two of them feel as though they are quite close to that point.

Could anybody please tell me what the exact thread is so I can order the correct ones online.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Alan

The bolts are fine but as I tighten them I can feel that a couple of the threads in the flange are at the point of failing. That's why I want to use a nut to take the pressure off the flange. I know that this is a common fix as well as the HeliCoil inserts that are being discussed in the other post I made under set up and repair. I've ordered the 10-24 nuts now. Thanks again. Alan
