Title: Clevelock Nuts...and the same to you..
Post by bonnietiler on May 13^th, 2011, 12:35am

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.

Judging by the search results it looks as though they're becoming obsolete.
You may do better to search for one of the other all steel types listed here:

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.
