Cortina hub nuts

I've just been double checking a few things prior to my SVA test and just realised I havent got split pins on the front hub nuts. Is there supposed to be a castelated nut on there or a nut retainer that the split pin goes through? I've just got standard nuts on there.

If anyone has the part numbers it would be great

Should have a pressed steel "castellation" if that makes sense. It's possible that they may be fitted to the rear of things like VW Golf, Passat, Vauxhall Astra, Cavalier , Vectra and Ford Escort, Fiesta etc . Can't remember the nut size for the Cortina but suspect 24mm for those mentioned

Thanks Rusty, After doing a bit of searching I found catellated nuts for sale on the Westfield site



... so I guess it might be an either / or situation.

As I have the nuts it seems I just need these pressed steel nut retainers then as I've got the split pins. The nut size is 5/8" iirc.

Anyone got a part number ?

Yep, that's what I meant - it is about 24mm across the flats
