Neveragain55 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Ok gang, I had to replace the original T3 turbine shaft out of my turbo because after further inspection I found it to have a slight bend (must have happened when I separated the turbo) The new shaft is perfect except for the fact that it takes a a left-hand or (reverse) threaded nut (no, it didn't come with a new one) and the original turbine shaft had a standard right-hand turning nut. I have scoured the internet and driven around to many hardware stores and I cannot find any small metric left-hand nuts anywhere. A little guidance here would really be appreciated…………..

Xnke Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Call the shop you got the shaft from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neveragain55 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 I actually did and I'm waiting to hear back from them.............. I'm just anxious and admittedly so, I'm jumping the gun. I don't think they'll have one though because it was an eBay item, and I think all these guys sell are the turbine shafts. We'll see.....

Xnke Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 In that case, I'd call G-pop or another rebuilder. I've always worked with G-pop Shop in arkansas, and they have ALWAYS been helpful...alot of the time they are really too busy to talk on the phone but if you know what you need then call 'em up. If you don't, shoot them an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neveragain55 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 I want to say M6 x 0.9 If that sounds right.... I measured the thread pitch with a thread gauge and size 9 seem to fit best. The diameter fell inbetween M6 & M7 but leaned towards M6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Could it be 1/4 x 28? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neveragain55 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Definitely, yes could be. The 28 gauge fit the threads as well as the 9 did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neveragain55 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 All set gang..... Believe it or not I found one at this little mom & pop hardware store a few towns away from me. And it was the 1/4 x 28 size..... Thanks everybody... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
