Nuts! (both as expletive and plea for help)

["Tony Sims" <simstony@domain.elided>]

That's not exactly what I said when I got off the phone with IAP, but this
isn't the venue for adult content.  Some hamhanded disassembly (by me, of
course) has damaged one of the lower a-arm bushing nuts on my GTV (1974
115.01).  I ordered a replacement from IAP, and when it arrived it was 1.25
pitch thread -- and my parts are 1.0 pitch.  I'm really only grumbling because
it took 2 phone calls to get to the conclusion that they didn't have any fine
thread, and I had to make the follow up call after waiting a day and half to
hear back.  I'll definitely cop to being spoiled, but my usual experience with
suppliers that serve enthusiasts is, well, enthusiastic!

So... Any US Alfisti have one of these nuts in 1.0 pitch?  For easy reference,
it's part number 33559 on page 45 in the latest IAP catalog, the lower a-arm
bushing nut.  It's 24mm outside, and it looks like 16mm x 1.0 (the 1.0 I'm
sure of, and the OD of the shaft at the threads is appx. 16mm measured with a
ruler -- I don't have a thread gauge that big).

I will call around to a few more parts houses today, but I thought I'd try the
trusty digest.  If anyone needs the 1.25 pitch version, I'll gladly send along
the new one, IAP didn't want to pay shipping to get it back.

Cheers,
