This might sound like a strange request but does anyone have a 7/8 Whitworth nut we can borrow, briefly, in the Dales?
Reason is we have one in a cave which we think is this size (or possibly 22 mm metric coarse - but Whitworth seems more likely). It's getting ready for replacing but (for various reasons) we don't want to remove it from the site to check its size. We could look into using vernier calipers and thread gauges etc but the easiest option is simply to try a nut which is likely to be right, return the borrowed nut - then order one of our own from Settle Coal.
If you can help, please could you send a PM? We'll make sure it gets back to you.
Thanks!
