[Mr Tank]

If you like what you see please get in contact!

Not being funny but with nothing else in the piccies for scale they could be M3 ;^)

[keatsie]

No, I drove an M3 I can assure you they are much bigger

[Mr Tank]

Hi Adam

What do you want pics of them on the shaft!

The Wife would love that on the front room carpet.

They are to OEM standard I beleve a 38mm shocket/spanner is req to do them up (Or the eqv A/F shocket/spanner)

I don't expect you will want a set as it may be more than you want to spend to keep your car's rear wheels in place!

Andy

[adam quantrill]

Put something else in the shot like a penny ;^)

We both know they are massive, they just don't look it, that's all.

[Wedg1e]

Just to cheer you up Adam, I have some M36 nylocs at home, I'll post a pic of those, no need for scale there

[adam quantrill]

Ian how do we know it's just that you have bigger nuts than Andy?? ;^)

[Mr Tank]

Well you can judge for your self now Adam as requested Nuts with a penny which is all you would want to pay!











So no more excuses for split pins if you need to remove your drive shaft nuts they are avaliable at a sensable amount of tokens!

Andy

[adam quantrill]

Nice! See what I mean - without the penny in there they coulda been any size.

Are they plated/passivated too - they look quite shiney.

[Mr Tank]

Hi

Sorry they are not plated just plain high grade steel!

Why spend the money on plating when they will be covered in grease!

M36 x 4 Nyloc on the right... with a TVR hub nut for scale

Ian

So you got bigger nuts than me, but it how you use them which counts!

Andy

I will take a set off of you at the fest Andy...Cheers...Ziga

[mrzigazaga]

Meant to grab a set off you at the fest Andy but was still a bit fuzzy from the night before..Are there any left?...Cheers...Ziga

So.... if I was to obtain the nuts on Andy's pic, they are "fit and forget"?

Are they widely available?

Things like this scare me, this'll be the first job when I get my next wedge.... even though I drove my last wedge without worry or mishap.

Reminds me when I owned a Stag, just waiting for that temperature needle to climb then the engine blow up!!

Nice nuts

For my TVR 350i based Shelby Cobra Daytona replica I'm looking for these new 38 mm/1,5 inch Hub Nuts. Who can tell me please from which model these are coming. Is it some type of Jaguar ?

[B@man]

The Nuts are a TVR special part they are not used on either Ford or Jag donors

Pete Brock replica? Good luck, is there a build thread?

[shelby2015]

Thank you very much. That explains why the Jaguar specialist couldn't help me. I've send Mr Tank an E-mail. Now lets hope he still has any left.

Hi mate...I think its advisable to fit a castellated nut on the N/S and put a lock pin through..Do you have a pre-drilled stub axle?..Not sure if its true but someone did tell me that the factory drilled them for safety?..Although some cars have had them drilled two or three times because the fitter is too lazy to do it properly..Causing some not so good scenarios.....Ziga
