Can anyone help me out with a nut for my front axel. 79 yz250
Cheers
-
It is nothing special. A standard metric thread. Just take it to a Nuts & Bolts joint they have one.
Unless it for authenticity.
-
Cheers for that although it appears that i don't have f forks.Apparently the 250f fork base was threaded for the axel hence why I can't get a nut for it.
My forks have 4 bolts on the axel clamp side and are 38mm. Any Ideas?
P.S. Want a NOS axel for a 250f?

sounds like you have later model forks, possibly 83 125. F forks should have one pinch bolt .
-
I thought the 250F had two M8 pinch bolts?
Could also be YZ125H/J, or various ITs.
-
YZ250F has only 1 pinch bolt. G has 2, H has 2 but are 43mm.
They sound like IT175J/K (82,83), IT200L (84) or IT250/465H/J (81,82) forks. Almost bet the farm.
As Nathan said they may be off a YZ125H/J but look at the bottom tripple clamp it has a recess for the radiaror water in/outlet.

IT200s were 43mm, FWIW.

YZ125 K is also 38mm with no triple clamp water outlet.Anyway he might have the original 38mm triple and later forks.
-
He has the right triples, it's just the forks that are wrong. Are all the possible forks mentioned in the same ballpark in terms of length? I know some of the later ones don't stick up through the top clamp like the original 250f forks do

125 K forks dont stick up above the clamps but have 12" travel so about 1.3" longer than stock.
38mm E forks have shorter stauchions than the F so they dont stick up so much , abit less travel also but that can easy be changed to match F specs.
-
Yeah, they're all the super long type - maybe not the YZ125K - and there's probably some variation between them.
The IT175J/K forks have about 275mm of travel. Pretty sure the YZs had the full 300mm. Dunno about the IT250/465s.
Eh, MM made most of this redundant while I was typing.
