    but it was a Unitorque nut whose inner has no nylon insert but is slightly elliptical so when torqued up grips the thread quite securely....?[/QUOTE]

    This is something i had also thought about, there are some anti vibration nuts that are used on the railways, they have 2 lateral slots that cut over halfway thro the thread.
    This means that the thread form will collapse slightly and grip the bolt/strut when tightened up.

                    A forum member is going to fit a set of these to his car within next week or so.
                    His car is a daily driver (60 miles) so they should get a good testing over the next month

                          I'm interested to hear feedback. I'm sure we could find a few buyers over here.

                            Hi, 2 members have some ready for fitting and testing, and i have had a couple of members willing to help, but until i get some positive feedback i dont want to start making batches due to time and costs

                            Cheers

                              I'm happy to test some on my RS2, they need changing anyway and if they don't work out for what ever reason it'd only be like using the current offerings that don't last I use the car everyday so they'll get frequent use.

                              Earlier in the post another set was going to start putting on miles from July, did that happen?

                                Im pretty interested in how they go as well. Im about to put full S2 running gear in my typ8590Q and have already got bambridges Alu subframe mounts, Brake mounts, spacers and wouldnt mind a set of decent top mounts so i can almost fit and forget.
