I guess you're using the 1/4" on the exhaust seeing there doesn't seem to be an M7 available?

Personnaly I don't see the point in using Nordlock washers on the cylinder head. The nuts don't loosen due to vibration, all thT Happens is that the ally in the head 'gives' slightly and the torque is then lost. I thing that wiil still happen with the Nordlocks. It's a different storr with steel on steel like with the exhaust flange or wheel nuts although again, I don't think wheek nuts vibrate undone either but paint and powder coats erode and the nut comes loose. Not sure that Nordlocks will be much help there either. I spoke to another company that made a totally different thread locking device (dutch but con't remember the name) who told me that Nordlocks didn't perform very well when subjected to sustained high frequency vibration.

I do not try to explain why I ride Lambrettas,
For those who understand, no explanation is necessary,
For those who don't, no explantion is possible.
