I am not 100% certain but, I believe the lug nut on the 2nd (outer) wheel acts like a jam nut to lock the thimble in place and keep it from backing off the inner wheel stud. Kind of a package deal. I would imagine many more folks here are more knowledgeable than I on this subject. Why the...
Howdy and welcome from Colorado USA. If you have the Technical Manuals (TM) for the Gama Goat you should be able to look up the part numbers in military format. Several suppliers or vendors that advertise here will likely carry what you are looking for. If not you can probably probably place...
