From: "John Wighton" Binx Self Locking Nut The Binx Nut is an all metal prevailing torque type self-locking nut. The locking action is provided by two slots cut into the side of the nut which locally changes the pitch. When tightened onto a bolt this change in pitch results in the nut threads gripping the flanks of the bolt thread resulting in a locking action. One advantage of the Binx nut is that its height is no greater than a standard nut so that it can be used in confined spaces. The finish on the nuts is BZP (Bright Zinc Plating). The nut can be re-used and still maintain a locking action. To achieve the full locking action of the nut it is recommended that at least two bolt threads should protrude through the top of the nut.

I should have stated that the gas strut geometry on the Europa in question is the original Classic style low down on the door. All is well now thanks.

You can have them charged to a higher pressure then let out a bit of gas until you find the right pressure. > Regards > John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
