Correct size nyloc nuts

[mr mugello]

I'm just after zinc wheel nuts. The ones I bought for my standard series three rims , the nyloc didn't touch the stud threads even with just a thin wavy washer fitted. Where can I get hold of the correct size of dome and plain nylocs with 14mm socket size in zinc ? Thanks

E Bays a good bet link below to just one of many dealers on there , i would get Stainless grade stops the rusty look

Cheers Toddy. I'm trying to get the 14mm spanner size. These seem hard to get hold of. For a 64 special restoration.

Cheers these are the ones. Just need the 14 mm plain nylocs to finish my wheel sets

I think the ones you are using are the deep nylocs and the thread on the studs wont reach the nyloc part of the nut.These are the correct spanner size,but I dont know about the depth of the nut,they're not cheap though.http://www.scootopia.co.uk/product/7272 ... -wheel-rim

Cheers hx. I saw these. They are pricey like you say. Gets a bit too much for just nuts only ,on three sets of rims. Was looking at the zinc keeping in line with fork and spindle bolts fitted which are zinc .

Got mine from here http://www.scooterrestorations.com/lamb ... ite-nyloc/ They also do the dome headed ones.

[mr mugello]

These are the ones I bought . Studs not reaching the nyloc !

[Wack]

Yes you're right, about 2 mm too high. I never checked when bought, just put in the drawer for future use.

[mr mugello]

Sod It. Gone for 13mm stainless. For the sake of 1mm ! Hopefully Scootopias GP ones are correct height and . Not messing about on safety relying on a few little nuts

I know you like it to look the part, but I'm not confident with domed nuts. The only way to be sure is to use standard nylocs all round. Maybe a colour co-ordinated dab of paint on the top of the studs so you know which is which.
