Coil overs

Hi,

i bought some coilovers off a mk1 golf for my caddy and they came with one top nut (the nut that holds the top mount in) missing…

I went to the local car shop and they told me it was a 12mm thread, so I went to another shop and they tried a 12mm thread and it didnt fit as it was a metric thread..

So does anyone know what thread I need or where to get them?

Any response will be great and its getting on my nerves…  

Afraid i have no idea what size you need but a 12mm thread may possibly come in differend thread widths, ie  1mm, 1.25 mm or maybe 1.5mm, more to it than just dia i think.

Ok thank you, I may just have to order a few sets and find which ones are the winners  

Vagcat lists that nut as a m14x1.5 on a standard set up if thats any help.

It may help if anyone knows if the standard nuts go straight on coilovers 

make of coil over may help..
not sure if they are all the same..

+ a ruler to measure the diameter of the thing

I measured it and the diameter is about 12mm and the difference between threads is 1mm

You'll have to help me out, because I'm confused. You measured the thread pitch and it was 1mm. Then 8 minutes later, you quoted your own post, added nothing to it, but edited the quoted portion to say its 1.2mm.

I looked and thought it was 1mm but then I looked closer and I would say its closer to 1.25mm, I'm gonna order m12 x 1, m12 x 1.25 and m12 x 1.50 just to be safe
