Name of a part wanted please.

No beer vouchers required, the boost to my karma would be reward enough..

In this case beer vouchers outweigh Karma . I worked in Manchester for years and my beloved Astra GTE ended up not far from you having been chased by plod in the 70's

I needed some of those myself a while ago and managed to win an eBay auction for a bag containing a dozen of them for less than it would have cost to buy two from a shop!

I now have 10 remaining in the bag that I will probably never use, so if you want to PM me your address Compo I'd be more than happy to stick a couple in the post to you

They look like this:

@compo This is the real McCoy. Take up Steve's offer. And yes when you have the real thing like this, the screw head goes on the outside, the spring on the inside and the nice little knurled stopper against the axle.

 

[compo]

@Steve Malkin thanks for the great offer. I will PM you.

Thread title made me think of Naming of Parts by Henry Reed

Which in our case, we have not got.

No they don't the screw goes in from inside the dropout with the spring inside the dropout then the knurled adjuster nut goes on the end.
But @Steve Malkin If there are any spare could I have one, the knurled adjuster nut is missing on one of my bikes

Thanks

I am not sure if I should be embarrassed or confused. With the knurled knob on the outside, it just comes loose when I turn to adjust. With the screw head on the outside, I can adjust it with the wheel in place (obviously only against hand pressure and with skewer loose). I'm thus intrigued to know what holds the knurled head onto the screw so that it doesn't turn?
