Need to know a nut size!

[Muddbucket]

Long story short while rebuilding my steering column I fubared the threads on the steering wheel nut.

What size of nut is this? I know it's a flange nut but I have no idea what size of nut it is or what the thread pitch is, google turns up nothing.

Help!

go to napa or auto zone... they can look it up for you...

i doubt they can look up steering column nut size, but i may be wrong. just go to a salvage yard and pull you a new part

Nothin at the boneyard. Napa was no help.

I got the old steering column I pulled outta the truck when I put the new one in, guess I'll just bring it to some hardware stores and see what fits.

The original nut was a flange nut, is there a problem with swapping that out with a jam nut?

Go to a local hardware store.

i will mail you a nut if you need one, just pay the international first class postage and the nut is free, i have mucho nuts.

According the the GM catalog, M14X1.5 6H THD 27 OD Flanged. Part # 26056108. I'd find a used one or pay the 8 bucks at the dealer and get a new one.
