[DeTomaso] Sealing ZF acorn nuts group buy

[pantdino at aol.com]

Hi, Mike,

I guess my knowledge of acorn nuts is lacking, but are you saying the stock nuts allow gear oil to seep past where they contact the transaxle case and / or their threads and these will seal that leak?


What is the length of the nuts?

Thank you,

Jim Oddie

Hi guys,
I got another quote back from the ZF self-sealing acorn nut people; they 
ffer stainless steel nuts for $2.65 each with a min buy of 100, plus 
hipping.   I can't remember exactly how many are needed for a ZF but I think 
t's 
round 18, so my proposal would be to sell them in batches of 20.
They would come to me with a dull finish; I would then polish them to a 
right luster before shipping.
The nature of this design is that there is metal-to-metal contact between 
he face of the nut and the surface it's being tightened against, so proper 
orque can be achieved, even with sealing.
Several of you indicated interest; I now need four people willing to cough 
p, say, $60 for a set of 20; once I have those commitments I'll go ahead 
nd order them, and will be able to ship them out to everyone a few days after 
 receive them (which they say may be 2-3 weeks).
If 25 people signed on, the group price would drop to under $50.
Lemme know!
Mike
