Tried local places and Ford no luck.

I got mine from Robin Hood / GBS as they are now.

Have you got the ball joint off the car? Locally you could try Thomas Potter in Cramlington. Usually carry a wide selection of nuts!

Don't you need to be using a nylock nut?

Thats on the under side when it drops into the hub, the one i am after is the one for the top of wish bone to lock it.

Edit I thought you mean the 1/2" unf thin lock .

I have two standard m18x1.5 nuts you can have. They where to thick for my wishbones. I picked up some half nuts on ebay but can not see any now.

Yes it is the 1/2" unf thin lock.
