wheel nuts

[whitewolf]

I'm puzzled....


I have wolfrace slot mags and need to replace some wheelnuts. (Half replaced already so rest to match)

I know its 7/16unf thread but the seat, 120 degree?


Thanks in advance.

Michael, the Wolfrace wheel nut is a 2 piece affair with it's matching washer (matching to the nut taper and then matching to the version of the counter sunk cut or flat face) of the wheel.

I got some before from ebay but can't seem to find my old saved supplier.

The ones I have are nuts and washers..

I'll take a pic to see if it helps.

[whitewolf]

I see what you mean.

Compared old to new.

The new washer won't fit the old one,different diameter on the shank..

But they do fit the wheel correctly.

60' is modern wheel nuts, I just can't remember if its 30' or 120'....

[Adrian@]

The shank on the nut/washer and socket/hex size are what I refer to along with the 7/16...a picture is not much good without the references, but try it.
Adrian@
The smaller ones are wrong, you need to get a full set of the larger shank versions..IMHO

Original nuts - hex head is 13/16" and washer/nut to end length is 1/2"


New ones I have - 19mm hex head, and nut/washer to end length is also 1/2".

The wheel face isn't flat where the washer sits, it is cut in (can't take a pic as phone batt is low and won't flash )

The OD on the shank is important, they should all be the larger size.

Thanks Adrain@, I'll call you next week and sort out with you.



When I got the car it came with 3 x modern ford alloy nuts forced on... A complete new set shall fix all this!

Thats the Mr T website wolfrace nuts.


So I'd need SN57 or SN58?

sorry, I struggle to understand imperial much....

[Adrian@]

11/16 is 22/32 is 44/64...so slightly larger than 41/64.

11/16 is 16.2719 and 41/64 is 17.4625 in new money..lol

I was trying to (possibly understand it as a fraction) and find a multiple to understand the wider.


Think I should put some batteries in my measuring calipers...

Or just use google!


Thanks Adrian and Mike!

If 11/16 is larger than 41/64, how can it be 16.2mm and the smaller be 17.4mm?

[whitewolf]

Looked at Google, back to front.

I may have some wolf race sleeved nuts in a box that I am never going to use..
Will have a look when I get in the garage.

[whitewolf]

Ah, thank you!

[Dollyman1850]

Sorry. don't think they are any good…



They are all 12mm x 1.5 pitch.

The L/H one has a swaged turning washer as part of the nut and are similar but different to the next 3 which are stamped 10L.
The other 4 are Magard 06316 all with flat washers.

They were on some slave wheels when I had my car worked on many many moons ago and I am not sure what they are off!!

these possibly ones you need but I am no expert on wolfies and M's

[whitewolf]

Dollyman - thank you anyway, I've looked at the link and they're the small bore, part which I have and too skinny.


I've managed to source some of the correct ones.


Thank you all for your help and input.
