   Hi guys,
   
   Need some new nuts to go with my new drop link.. What size do I need?
   
   Can't use old nuts as they're so tight you can't even hand tighten them past half the thread of the nut!
   
   I replaced the droplink one side no problem, I think the nuts on the other size are the source of the problem of being stuck with the pass side
   
   Thanks,
   Dan.

   Not sure on size, probs a 13mm, why didn't you get nuts with your drop links...you usually do as your not ment to re-use the old ones

   My replacement ones were 19mm but i have the feeling that standards were 18mm for some reason. That's a rip off that you didnt even get new nuts!
