Sign in to disble this ad
I bought a used a Fury that is need of a new nut. Like a fool I just ordered a brass one off ebay and it is the wrong shape, size, etc.
Have any of you ordered a replacement nut for a MIA Fury, and if so which one 'fit'?
Thanks in advance!

That's a surprise--not!
We should have a stickie: "Drop-in nuts will not fit".

BTW--brass nuts cost more to have anyone work on them, provide no positive results that you can hear.
My suggestion: Have a bone/tusq/graphite one mad, and installed.
