Giovanni Atv Nut

yozalo · 04-18-2009, 05:44 PM

I recentle lost my 50cc atv tire nut. I went to 2 differnt homedepots and canadian tire but they did not have the nut. I needed it for my giovanni atv tire since I had lost it while riding. I am very paranoid, since I could not find it. I tried 5-6 nut's already and none of them fit in.

If you can take a few measurements, I may have one I can send you for the cost of shipping.

Try a small, old-fashioned hardware store, if you can find one...or at least a hardware that is privately owned...or a good private auto parts store...or a NAPA auto parts....a True-Value or Ace hardware...or an industrial supply place.

The big chain stores don't have squat when it comes to real hardware. When all the small ones disappear...we're screwed.

I tried canadian tire and homedepot. They had barely any inventory. I will try napa auto parts tomorrow.

Please...those big mega chains are a joke when it comes to small things like nuts and bolts.

I needed a simple stainless sheetmetal screw for my pool a few weeks ago- I tried Lowes and TSC...nothing. I finally got the right ones at a local building supply place that never has any customers.

A lot of you guys may be too young to remember when they had REAL hardware stores :(

How's the napa auto parts store. I will try them tomorrow. Also do you think home hardware might have it.

The best place I found for a huge selection of stainless is boaters world.

Lucky for me that there are still a decent number of real hardware stores around here.

Is this the big nut on the axle, in the center?

yozalo · 04-19-2009, 11:36 AM

It's the tire nut, for the end of the rear axel.

You can't just inquire with the dealer to see if he has one kicking around?

I find NAPA was always terrible for bolts when I was in the industry.

Did you find one?
