Superformance hubs, bearings and bushings

The nut I took off was 36mm in diameter. Anyone know if that's a ford nut or is one made by Dorman and a part number? Also I have a torque of 175#, 200# 250# and 600# on the axle nut from an array of sources.?????

I think this is it???? FOSZ-4B477-A Dorman - Autograde Prevailing Torque Spindle Nut M24-2.0 Hex Size 36mm (sold by each)

Yes, that is the nut

Mark lV... I sent a parts list to Timemachine at your website on Monday but haven't heard from you. I still need 2 of the lower control arm to hub carrier bushings.

Mine are the green ones . The red bushings for newer cars are to big. The ID of the bushing is .875 I.D. and the O.D.of the bushing is close to .930.

Do you have (2) of them in stock?....... Hillbank, Olthoff, and Cobra Valley don't have them. If they are not available do you have a suggestion what to substitute or what to make them out of?

thanks tom.

Sorry,

No stock of them currently. Not a big deal to have them machined from Delrin. Or we can get some from the factory, but it will take a week or so. Look here for material info:
Acetal/Delrin Rod

For whatever reason, the electron Gods did not send me your request.

Not being anything beyond a back yard mechanic all these years please tell me if I am correct...

Purchase a .1000 O.D. piece of Delrin and have it turned down to .930 O.D. to fit within the hub carrier and bore the inside to .875 I.D to match the steel pin.
A machine shop can bore that stuff out????? This is way over my head. I had a tough time finding a shop to press the bearing out.

The 2 green bushings would be best for me If you can get them within 3 weeks. Two of the bushings I have are perfect and un-damaged. If it's an issue to get them please let me know because both Dennis Olthof and Hillbank say they don't make them anymore. Sorry but I'm getting so many confusing answers I don't know which way to turn. .......I wish I could just go to NAPA.

Yes,

A machine shop will be familiar with Delrin and machining it. It works very much like aluminum. I had Delrin bushings machined for my Pinto "B" sedan back in the early seventies (alright no jokes, it is now a valueable vintage racer!)

FWIW- I torqued my axle nuts to 250ft/lbs on SPO#1950

Make sure that if the nut has a washer the washer doesn't bottom on the radius of the hub recess. You will never get proper torque if it does.
