I don't know but if it was me I would get the cheapest bushing kit I could find and use the nut out of that. That way you'd be sure to have the right metal besides the sizing.

The nut is not ussually included with a bushing kit. It is recommended to replace this nut whenever it is removed(not that I have).

yeah it was! I am now having issues though. The new radius arm bracket is a lot thicker than the stock stamped one. there isn't enough tread on the radius arm (stock) to fit the back bushin and nut on.. And ideas?

If you have new bushings as well, you may need to pull the TTB axle back into the bracket a little to get it started. Is the tuck on the ground or in the air?
