Wheel nuts (not the usual)

[chris4200GT]

Help !!
I've just bought some wheel nuts from Ebay, (For my '52 4200), when they arrived they are completely different to mine, size across the nut is approx 19mm, when I complained that they were not as described, the seller said they are DEFINITELEY from a 51 (?) plate 4200 and they are perhaps different to mine ? Is there such a thing or am I being naive ? The seller assures me he personally removed them from the vehicle himself. I haven't even looked if they'll fit or not yet,

Aren't Formula Dynamics wheel bolts smaller across the flats...could be those?

Hi Chris,

I offer a conservative view. Notwithstanding that they have been supplied in good faith, I recommend that you check the specification and integrity of these bolts very carefully. Not just the meaurement across the flats, but the length, the diameter and the construction of the threads. In the end unless you are completely satisfied, you will never have peace of mind, so don't bother with them. I appeciate that it's a bit wasteful and equally annoying but it's just not worth it.

Kindest regards,

Paul

Also measure the angle of the taper - this is a key safety point.

As it turns out...need to be careful out there.....check and double check!

Hope you get your money back if patently the wrong items sold
