I'm putting some Anthracite spiders onto my Tamora, but the original nuts look a bit tired.
What's best, ally or stainless? Or should I go black?
Anyone got any good sources?

Cheers,

John.

I got black ones for mine for similar reasons - I think they were about £47? Cheapest I could find but I cant remember the place and I'm out of the country at the moment...think it was some 4x4 shop for a Jeep Cherokee...?

MGB Rostyle wheel nuts are available in stainless steel and probably the cheapest option. Correct UNF thread and seat angle for the TVR. You can get them from any of the big MG parts people - have them fitted on my T350.

I would go stainless. 1/2 inch unf thread with a 60 deg taper

Money no problem - machined stainless from racing green £100
Northern tightness alternative - jeep stainless capped nuts £50 off eBay


I'm northern an tight so got the stainless capped nuts about 4 years ago, they still look like new and you can't tell the difference from the full stainless items on the car.

... or buy the MGB machined stainless nuts for half that price.... 60deg taper 1/2" UNF, same nuts half the price!
