Does anyone know the size, grade and thread pitch of the nut that holds on the steering wheel. I managed to lose mine when pulling the dash. Thanks in advance.
Might be mildly retarded but...

Well, then it's a 14mm thread, and a 19mm nut
AR: LOL here it gets even more confusing as the local guys have decided to NOT use the conventional size heads for metric bolts, normally an m8 bolt would have a 12mm head but nah Aussie manufacturers think it should be 13mm.....

finding a MKIII in the junkyard around here is impossible.
c'mon guys, im not the only idiot here that has lost this nut before...
Should only be a few $ from Toyota they're surprisingly cheap for parts like that (I had to buy front hub nuts and they were cheap)
but im wondering if they will have them in stock. The cross refference on cygnus said it covers quite a few cars (most toyotas in the 80s and 90s). anyone know any more info on this, Im thinking its a m14x1.25, but im not sure on the pitch.

That's why I said a junkyard. No, most dealers will not stock this item on the shelf.
it's usually only a day to get it from the dealer if you order it... unless it's special order (or backordered), then it's a while
if not, i know of other m12x1.25 nuts i have. It is def not a m10 and not a m14, i tried both. the problem is that the m12x1.25 nuts are atteched to something, and are going to be a bitch to get off.
Just so that everyone knows (incase they lose this nut) it is a M12x1.25(confirmed and is on my car currently) nut that holds on the steering wheel.
I thought it was M12 originally, but when I was looking at some M12 bolts I had, they seemed small-ish. Oh well.
So, if I read this thread correctly......The problem really was the loose nut behind the wheel.:sarcasm:
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
