Wiper arm nut size
hi guys,
previous owner removed the wiper arms from the car so am wanting to re-install them but am missing the nuts that hold them in place. can someone tell me the size/thread pitch of the nuts so i can go to the hardware store please? thanks. |
There was a guy at the OGTA meeting Tuesday night with a whole pocket full of those nuts Fred. He's going to be at DGRR too, if you're headed up that way.
Anyway, the nut is a metric 14mm nut with course threads fitting an 8 mm thread. But they don't sell those at hardware stores. |
|
Thanks ray. So u don't believe ace or true value would have them? Yes, I'll be going to DGRR this year...trying to have the car ready by then.
|
Looks like something you might find in the electrical section. Don't they use thin nuts like that on electrical conduit pipes like in a breaker box? I'm sure I've seen something like that there.
|
Oh, it's a thin bolt? That may be harder to find then.

Here's a couple photos, the nut is a couple mm smaller than a dime. If you can't find something let us know, we'll make sure there's some at DGRR

I will go out and check mine to verify the thread pitch, but I think its the 2.0 shown in the example.
|
Well I'm glad I checked cause I was wrong, the size is 8mm x 1.25 thread pitch.
Thats actually a common size so Im thinking the hardware store will prob have it. If not here is the proper example, (rather than the screwed up one I gave before) : McMaster-Carr |
I thought he was talking about the ones under the plastic pieces. Hell 8 x 1.25mm is available just about anywhere. You probably have some from a trip to the junkyard and not even know it

Thanks guys. I went through my jar of miscellaneous nuts and bolts and found 2 cap nuts that fit so I'm good. :)
