Semicircular leather nuts
The leather nuts with special advantages!
These half-round leather nuts in diameters of 6, 8, 10 or 11 mm can be screwed onto the threaded wire immediately without any preparatory work. The hole is designed for threaded wires with an outer diameter of 1.8 mm. The lacquered version is recommended for 1.65 mm wires, as the hole is slightly reduced in size by the lacquer. For thicker wires, you can drill out the leather nut accordingly.
Punching it out of thick cowhide leather (approx. 5 mm thick) prevents unnecessary compression and the thread easily cuts itself into the leather. Please refer to the picture opposite.
These leather nuts can also be easily loosened later. The material displaced by the thread causes additional holding over a longer period of time, which is noticeable by a small "crack" when loosening.
A lacquer coating can be advantageous where there is particularly high humidity or, as mentioned above, due to the use of very thin threaded wires. We can offer you this additional lacquer coating for diameters from 8 mm for an additional charge, subject to stock availability. However, you can also apply this coating yourself at any time.
Leather nuts without a center hole are available in size D=10 mm. Wherever our drilled leather nuts cannot be used because the threaded wire is too thin, you can switch to this undrilled version and drill the appropriate hole yourself. These can also be ordered via the store under Cat. No. B8110OL.
