Hi Dave,
I guess they mean, one thread showing on the fitting. I must admit i done mine up by 'feel' and have been on there way over a year with no leaks !!
Cheers John

The thread gets covered so you can't see it early on. I'd guess feel will just have to do.

Normal advice for the gap seems to be about 1/32 inch or less but the important thing is not to close the gap between the nut and body completely so that you do not over strain the thread.

Thanks for that. Makes more sense than the instructions.

Here's a pic of mine finished on the mule axle, ready to be transferred to the one on the car.
