[T. Cotten]

Boy I hope all Js were the same size...

What supplier has the BEST electroless nickle manifold gland nuts for J models?

Or even raw finish for that matter; Need a just few sets that actually fit the nipples for now...

Thanks in advance,

Cotten, it looks like there may be more than one type according to Overlander.......

What supplier has the BEST electroless nickle manifold gland nuts for J models?

Are we talking 1115-15 and/or 1115-23, Inlet Packing Nut? ...bill

First let me give thanks again for the replies...

The fossils to be replaced are 1 3/4" wrench size, with a nominal 1 37/64"-20 tpi internal threads.
The length of the whole nut appears to have been 37/64".

I am not aware of the exact model from which these were removed.
But my roughed-out PEEK stock that fit all the other J manifold nuts that have been sent to me, fits these as well.

My 23JDCA has packing nuts that measure 1.765-inches so I’ll guess that is 1 ¾” allowing for a little surface rust.

Competition Distributing appears to have what you need.
They show 1112-23PN for 74” 1923 to 1929 at http://www.competitiondist.com/cat12.htm
Their number of 1112 does not match the 1115 in the HD parts book but their 1112 picture shows a nut.

The nut for the 61” is 1112-15PN. (1915 to 1929) You could call them to really nail it. …bill in oregon

Bill!

I appreciate your reply of course,

But just as I admitted I didn't really know how many types existed of J nuts in my first post, I really, really, need to find electroless-nickel'd hardware, as modern electro-platers seem to think the stuff should be a thick as triple-plate chrome. This makes it *difficult* with thread fits.

I would rather pay more than take a gamble.

These rusty fossils are closer to 1.740" wrench size.
.025" is almost significant.
