I bought a front disc brake conversion from cpp several years ago and sold most of the parts at swap meets, as I considered them scrap. I will never will buy anything from them again. All chinese junk.
The original nut was a tension nut with crimped head to prevent backing off. IF the threads are imperial (USA), you can get original stye replacements and not worry about them coming off again.
I don’t really understand how they missed it either unless I am mistaken and the bolt backed out after they looked at it and the turn radios being off had nothing to do with it. All in all I have been pretty satisfied with cpp so far. I have had their drop spindles on the track for many years.
