can any one give me the dimensions of a spoke nipple, any normally available specification one will do.

I am after the
-maximum diameter
-the diameter of the spanner section (corner to corner distance)
-the overall length
-the length of the head (bit that sits inside the rim)

Im intending to use them for something other than holding spokes in a wheel.

I dont have a nipple to hand...well not the metallic type atleast
 
Cheers, but needed a little more detail than that, the 2mm you quoted i believe is the threaded internal diameter, the 12mm the overall length. It was the other dims that I really needed.

Cheers any way, im off home now so i'll measure one up .

Perfect cheers mate...after all that I totally forgot to measure one up last night. Arrived at work this morning and remembered...doh!

I can now get the part its going to sit in machined to size.
 
No worries.

I'm not sure what tolerances you should apply to those measurements, but bear in mind that they were made after midnight at the end of a very rough day!
