Title: Sprocket nut locking tabs
Post by: JOOLZ on March 02, 2012, 07:01:31 PM

Hi I hope someone can help me, Im looking for a set of Sprocket nut locking tabs for the xbr. The original nuts were self locking, the new nuts are not so need tabs. Any ideas ?

why not use the original ones? or failing that ,do you have any friends in the aircraft industry ,locking nuts galore in an air- craft hangar. Or have a word with a fastner firm called " All Fix". Just a few ideas.

Looking at the manual it looks like Honda never specified lock tabs for the xbr. Unfortunately I dont know anyone in the aircraft industry now, I will contact All Fix and see if they have something. Do XL XR models have lock tabs?

Hi.What size are the nuts? I only ask,as I can get some nyloc nuts or, even better,I can get some aero-nuts...all in stainless steel.

Hi the nuts are 10mm anodized titanium, so I would like to stick to them
