Seeking info on locking nuts for Mag wheels


Question

Thu, 11 Mar 2004
Adrian,
Sorry I didn't send this one to you last night.
Can you tell me what we can use for locking nuts on our mag wheels, we have the older style ROH DragMags not that it matters.
What does is the studs so we can get the locking nuts.

Leyland use standard 1/2 inch thread wheelnuts
Try your local wheel shop, Autobarn or Supercheap.
Easily obtained

Information from Russell on where to get new Targa wheel nuts

Shortcut to: http://www.niceproducts.com.au/images/WheelStud_scr.pdf
Details of the nuts I was able to purchase for my Targa Mags (i.e. one you photo'd today) are as follows:
NICE product Part No. T246 1/2" 22mm chrome;
Ordered through REPCO;
Cost $12.55 per wheel (I think) i.e for 5 plus some freight - cost about $60.00 all up;
Washers that come std with the nuts don't fit the recess in the Targa Mags and are also too thin - so I was able to get some custom made from Stainless Steel (not sure what grade?) based on original dimensions and the new nut shank OD.
I think I actually had them made slightly thicker than the originals (5mm) because the new nut's shank is slightly longer than the original.
Cheers
Russell
