Thanks A0283, my reading of the report is that the 'correct' nut was used, just that it had not been manufactured to the requisite tolerances by the overhaul supplier (that is to say, the next size up nut had possibly been supplied as 'correct')?

I've not worked on these, is the nut fitted during replacement of the assembly on the a/c, or is it kept intact as part of the assembly supplied by the manufacturer? If the former I'd be a little surprised that the engineer fitting the nut didn't detect there was something wrong given the nut minor dia was circa 1/16" larger than it should have been - or is that being unreasonable?
