SPendrey Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Was watching an episode of Wheeler Dealers this evening (first aired 27/9/21), and they were restoring a Series 1. Now, I'm no F1 mechanic, but one shot of the wheel got me thinking... shouldn't those nuts have the 'cone' inward, and perhaps some of the stud protruding?

Bowie69 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Early wheel nuts were double ended. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Yes I have a set of those for mine - but I swapped to the later type nuts with having later wheels. The stud holes on later wheels are a little larger. Those double sided nuts are long but very narrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Knowing WD, I wouldn't be surprised if they used the later one sided nuts but put them on backwards to make it look original. Or they just didn't know any better. I don't rate them at all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
