I'm I need of a pair of M16 x 1 half nuts, for my braided brake hoses. Does anyone have a suggestion where I could locate a pair of them?

Is it M16x1.5 you want or M16x1?

I think he does need 16mm with a 1mm pitch. I had the same problem a few years ago on some braided hoses for a motorbike.

In the end I bought some stainless full nuts and turned them down to half nuts.
