Any fastener dealer should be able to supply M14 or 1/2" UNF nuts. JLR has clearly decided to use a non-standard nut for reasons known only to themselves!

JLR must have had an off day when making my 90 and someone thought sod it put this nut on it fits.

Just checked the QR boss I fitted a couple of weeks ago. I used a standard 22mm AF socket, definitely not thin walled.

A standard M14 nut should have a cross flat dimension of 20.67 to 21.0mm. Can you not locate a M14 nut locally and try that?
