Title: Awh nut's & wheel studs Post by: Black Sheep on August 01, 2010, 18:21:43 pm OK little help here please :)
I'm looking to put some 12mm studs in my drums to bolt some MWS BRM's to . Found the studs I want no problem but the wheels have 15mm holes for the bolts / studs . Looking about for some sleeved nuts with a 30 degree washer all I can find are 41/64' bolts which work out at 16.27mm . Anyone got any idea's as I don't want to run without sleeves and risk the wheels slapping about on the threads . I'm sure I must be missing something here ::) I've seen guys running what look like a brass looking cadnam plated nut on a stud looks very pro 8) all I seem to able to find is either silver or nasty chrome ???
