Thanks Dennis.  We have a couple of excellent industrial supply places near me.  I picked up a couple of 14x1.5 last week actually for the shock nuts.  $1 each.  Not unreasonable for buying individually.

I actually prefer full width nuts. The trick is  to find them in the fine thread.

Dennis,

And I still can't type on this Windows 8 Phone!

tie rod jamb nuts

feel a bit silly asking this question.  but are the lock nuts on the tie rod ends special 'jamb nuts' or just a regular run of the mill 14x1.5 nut?  They look a little skinnier than a regular 14mm nut.  I trashed my old ones and was hoping
 my tie rod ends would come with one but they did not so no I need to source them.  If they are something special does anyone have a part number?
