M12x1.25 is the fine thread for that size and is used where loosening caused by vibration is a concern. Coarse threads are used where strength is the over riding concern. -- Gadgets

PeeWee Premium join:2001-10-21 Madera, CA	reply to Subaru said by Subaru: does not matter The finer thread has a much greater leverage under same torque settings. It could matter a lot! -- Those that charge less for their work understand what their work is worth!

Subaru 1-3-2-4 Premium join:2001-05-31 Greenwich, CT	not really because I'm going to drill it out (threads are already mangled) and I'm wielding on the nut so that's why I said it does not matter.

PeeWee Premium join:2001-10-21 Madera, CA	The tension delivered under a specific torque setting is much greater with the finer thread.

Subaru 1-3-2-4 Premium join:2001-05-31 Greenwich, CT 1 edit	tell me what will it do to the harden nut? Are you talking about the treads distorting? Plus I'm just tack wielding it not doing the whole thing.

Plus I'm just tack wielding it not doing the whole thing. IIRC, hardened steel becomes annealed when heated and must re-hardened and tempered again. But if you are only tack welding, you should be OK as long as you don't heat the whole nut above the critical temperature of 1335°F (cherry red). Also arc welding would be the preferred method as apposed to gas welding. -- August is National Eye Exam Month

Subaru 1-3-2-4 Premium join:2001-05-31 Greenwich, CT	reply to Subaru It's done I ended up not tack wielding just because it was getting late and a storm was coming near but as you can see It's easy to get to again.. btw the bolt I ordered was too short like 30 mm too short.. Lucky for me I ordered the nut because friken home depot here in portchester, NY sucks.. the bolt tray is always mixed up and they never have the size you need.. They say an outside vendor comes and does that... yeah sure.
