Completing the finishing touches to another bike build and have a fork with very deep blade profile requiring an ultra long brake pivot nut to reach through the fork crown and also allow for an extra 4mm steel light bracket I wish to fit behind the caliper.
I have a 32mm nut fitted at present but it's only 3.5 threads onto the bolt.
I need a 40mm nut - anyone got one they can sell me? I can't find one genuinely located in AU and would rather not wait for AliEx postage time if possible.

I got one from Bicycle Recycle in Moorabbin years ago, don't know if they are still there.

Problem solved.
I found someone selling a 35mm nut - it gave me an extra 2 3/4 turns of thread - I think that will cover it.
Many thanks all.
