Hi Coop;
There are self-locking 4 x 0.7 mm nuts available in both carbon and
stainless steel from Fuller Metric and other suppliers. Like all nylon type
lock nuts they should nut be used in areas where the temperature may exceed
250 deg.F (120C). Generally OK for many areas under the cowl but should be
evaluated for specific areas on the engine
I have never been impressed with tab washers and in some cases prefer a
simple split type lock washer.

Subject: Yak-List: More oil leakage
<cooperairracing@gmail.com>
Hi all. My engineer and I have been tracking down an oil leak on my CJ's
Housai 285hp. With the cowls removed and a good Varsol wash down/spray we
ran the engine. Sure enough we found the problem, the starter distributor
was loose. Even though the "lock tabs" were correctly in place, the three
7mm nuts had backed off. Now any of you who have had this issue know that
these nuts are a B***h to get at and tighten.
After two hours of work and several specialty bendings of 7mm wrenches they
are now tight. (I need to go buy replacement wrenches tomorrow)The space
behind the air lines and banjo fittings is too small for a socket and its
impossible to even get a universal socket in there. Has any one been able to
find Turbine nuts that fit those studs?
The smaller size of the Turbine nuts should make this a manageable job and,
of course, they are self locking. I don't know if there is an equivalency of
the studs to a US SAE size, but that would be great. Any one have the answer
to that?
Thanks Guys.
Coop.
