Missing Head Nut

[cjperry81]

So during my first build here I have not been as organized as I would like. Ive had a couple people help me get the forks and head set off my bike because my tools werent cutting it. So I started to reassemble the bike today and the nut on top of the fork is missing. No idea where it is. Where can I find another one? Im dead in the water without it obviously. Its off a 50's model Evans.

well that sux.. but! there are only a couple different sizes back them. so it should be easy to get another.

Yeah, you should be able to grab one off of just about anything with a standard fork. A bike shop should be able to give you one for a couple of bucks. Or take a wrench to a salvage yard and gather them off of every bike there. You'll pay like $1 for a bucket of them and have a bunch of spares.

I do not know what size steer tube you have. For 1" -24 threads per inch have a look at the Wald Headset 4080 ,an old standby replacement. ( just Google it )
