coupling nut
I'm looking for a coupling nut or whatever it may be called of 5/16" unf. and a 40 mm long full thread matching bolt.
It is used to couple two threaded rods together via the long nut.
It's impossible to get hold of in this retarded country
Thanks!

Yes I probably could do all this but why going through so much hassle for a 1£ nut ?
I can hardly imagine that there is no place in England where a 5/16" unf coupling nut is available.
After all,you are the guys with the funny nut sizes

can you not get hexagonal bar over there and make your own. failing that if it's not under pressure get a short lenght of tube and weld a nut on
either end. i think some early fords had something similar on the exhaust manifold to act as a standoff for a bracket.

I dont think I would ask it here if I could make my own but one never knows
Machinework is around 25£/hour or something like that overhere so that coupling nut would be very expencive I think.

If you are up for it I'll make you one on Monday and swap it for a bottle of that lovely Trappist beer you have over there.
Does it have to be hexagonal? not sure we have any material but could make it from round with a couple of flats.
