Clevelock Nuts...and the same to you..

Now, I know people use these new-fangled Nyloc inserts these days but I always use "Clevelock" nuts, particularly on the old Triumph machines but also on old Fords does anybody know of a good source for these?
A shot in the dark I know but worth a shout.
Cheers

They'll do them, that's where I've got mine from in the past. 01268 532434. They also do Helicoil, I had an old Buick V8 re-coiled many years ago, top job!

Simmo....is it just me..or have you neglected to list anything there?
I have done a couple of searches via the usual engines, but when contacted the nuts seem to be unavailable at some sources.

Thank you 'gentlemen' !!. I think it was early morning rather than age BUT no doubt you and others will wish to argue the point!!.

Searched ebay for 'clevelock' and 2 items came up - 1 in Canada & 1 in USA.
Also try searching for 'cleveloc' - which may be the correct spelling
I have encountered that type of nut before on things but never know the correct name for them. Oh well, you live and learn.
