I've found the Bilstein b4 front shocks I bought ages ago from ECP in the shed, but have lost one of the locking nuts. Would I be right in saying the nuts should be the same as a standard m-tech suspension lock nut? Or is it a Bilstein only part, and if so, has anyone got a spare one or know where I can buy one? They are 51mm struts. I've tried some 51mm Spax shock absorber locking nuts but they don't fit.
