I don't know about the current ones but I bought some from LR about three years ago and they were chamfered

Just a quick question from someone who's not actually seen the correct suspension nuts yet.

Am I right in thinking they have an "internal" chamfer on the underside of the nut?
If so, can we not just run a HSS countersink drill bit into the start of the thread on the underside of the nut and create this chamfer / countersink area? Life is an uphill struggle. Only the gradient varies.

That seems like the simplest solution. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948
