I bought an oil pressure/temp sandwich plate second hand (but new in box) but it was missing the sleeve nut that the oil filter screws onto.

I have absolutely no idea where I can buy one of these in the UK, but a quick google brings up plenty of American sites that sell these, so somebody must do.

The car is an SW20 MR2 Turbo - I'm trying to find out what the correct nut size is now. Other than Demon Tweeks, who dont seem to carry any, can anyone recommend a good nut supplier!

first person to say "KP" or "knobby's nuts" gets a thousand curses smile

BCG Motorsport, Think Automotive & Mocal are the 3 that come to mind.

thanks chaps - Demon Tweeks do carry them, they just refer to them as "centre bolts". I think sleeve nut is the American description.

im now hoping it fits...ill find out tomorrow!
