Hi
I need to make some special 3/8 UNF 'deep' nuts for a Jeep project. The steering knuckle studs require long or deep nuts , around .5" in length.
The originals are corroded and I am guessing are probably a grade 5 nut in todays terminology.
I could probably use hex bar and make them but what grade of steel is suitable and it needs to be soft enough to be hand tapped ?
Thanks
