Hi everyone. I am looking for the nuts that are used to temporarily connect S & S couplers while brazing/soldering. I recycled a set of couplers out of an old frame. Looking for the nuts that fit 1/8” and 1 1/4” S &S couplers.
If you have a set and don’t need them anymore, please let me know!

Hi Fernando,

The brazing nuts are available from S&S.  However, they will not sell to you unless you provide them with some information about your business, including evidence of liability insurance coverage.

I don’t have builders liability insurance.  The couplers are recycled, I’m using them on an electric tandem bike for my wife and I (we have life insurance). 
I would like to avoid brazing using the actual couplers.  I will probably turn my own set of temporary nuts on my lathe.
