I don't see how that could cause any problems. They are just lock nuts, to maintain the adjustment. Odd, though - usually a 7/16" AF nut fits a 1/4" thread, and a 1/2" AF nut fits a 5/16" thread. Did you notice if the thread size on those two was different than the others? _________________ Jim McKim

She has been running like that for a long time I think.
Thanks.

When I checked on part numbers for the tappets and adjusting screws they seem to remain the same MB, GPW, M38, CJ L-134s. It's as
shame I do not have access to the French built MB's to see if they used standard Willys parts or their in house manufactured meteric sizes.
On the other hand I have been a mechanic for 59 years and on rare occasions I have come across varying hex head sizes on the same diameter/thread pitch fasteners. _________________ Wes K
