Why state 5/8 UNC? This form is 11 tpi , not 14 tpi.
I don't understand what you are actually asking for? If it is 5/8" with a UNC form then I guess you mean 60 degree. This is also a metric form. M16 (close to 5/8") is a standard wheel nut size in various pitches. As for 5/8 x 14tpi - never heard of such a thread apart from 5/8 x 14 BSP but then that is not 5/8" OD. Not trying to teach granny to suck eggs . . . . just a few thoughts. Cheers Carl.

Im willing to learn. But I took it to a trailer building in are village and left it with him. When I went back he had a plug tap that he has owned for years had never used and it fits like a glove and stamped on the tap say 5/8 unc 14tpi
An old fella tried telling me how to suck an egg once. You learn something new each day old lad!

Ok.
Next, possibly dull, question. Is the stud definitely 5/8" outside diameter? If we ignore the UNC bit - 5/8 x 14 is a standard 5/8" BSF. The latter are readily available as plain high tensile nuts. The only problem is that BSF is a 55 degree thread, not 60 degree as in a UNC form. Cheers Carl.

Haven't got that far yet. The axles are off an old brewery cart used in Liverpool 1940s. I used them to build my living van. The nuts have worn over time. Im just replacing them, to make life easier if I was to get a flat tyre. Didn't really want to take a stud off. I have tried different nuts off all ages of trailers. I have tried a 5/8 unc 11tpi. But its to fine. Im not clued up with the machining part of the job. I wish I was. Would have saved me a fortune over the years. I will try and get my hands on a 5/8 bsf and see what its like. Will let you know. Many thanks

You say you tried 5/8" x 11 but it was ' too fine ' - I presume you mean ' too course '?
I have 5/8" BSF nuts here. If you PM me a with your address I can drop you one in the post. Cheers Carl.
