need help sourcing castle nuts
like the title.
Can't find anyone who sells castle nuts. I need to get some 19mm M12 1.25 pitch nuts.
Can't find any even on ebay.
tried several auto stores and bolt/fastener suppliers none could help.

nah, this is a modification to another car.
modifying aftermarket tie rod ends to take castle nuts instead of crappy nylocs which always come undone for me.
its funny how these days you have to modify "OEM type" parts to bring them back actual OEM specs. A joke and a half.
Thanks anyway. I'll be buying a crap load so I have them in the future.

OK, this is probably the apprentice advising the tradesman BUT I have made my own in the past (not for automotive purpose) I had a longer nut with the
correct thread and using a 100mm sidegrinder I cut the slots in the end of the nut, worked ok and saved me a trip to the shop  BTW I always thought they were called castellated nuts, not that it
makes any difference. 
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

Already looked at that. can't find nuts long enough. Needs to be at least 50% taller than whats available off the shelf to work. M12 1.25 isn't even
off the self in standard form either. Its metric extra fine.
The old castle nuts I have are close to 20mm tall for a 19mm M12 nut. standards are 10mm- 12mm tall. I could get away with 15-16mm and cut a slot like
you said. But its all major headache now.
Might have to go to a wrecker and pick some good 2nd hand ones.
 what a joke!
btw. castlelated is what I thought too. but castle and slotted nut seems to be the correct term used by the bolt suppliers and catalogs online.

Castle (castellated) nuts and slotted nuts have the same extra thickness to standard nuts. Just that the castellated nut has the top resembling the
castellations on top of a castle tower. It just depends on what "school" we went to as to whether we call them castle or castellated. As can be
seen, a castellated nut although having the same thickness as a slotted nut they certainly aren't the same animal in the looks department. Simple to
make with the correct grade of material, a lathe, a tap and milling machine

What I have is a slotted nut.
I reckon I might have founds very close to spec nuts in the UK.

thanks. they had some very close castle nuts. I ordered 20.
only major concern is they aren't high tensile. But for the sake of possibly having no other choice I got them anyway.

Albury is a great place to do business, just not a great place to live! however the bloke who owns FSA is a good bloke, he has always looked after me,
there are lots of reputable businesses here that i am happy to recommend.
