Rusty nuts are still better than no nuts or blue nuts.Righto brains trust @Drover @mikerezny @chartrock @DRW ive allready spoken with crustycon our next Premier of Vic
Now im 51 the van is 6 my nuts are rusty ahhhhh wheel nuts now i know some may struggle to see there nuts with roof over tool shed or glasses needed or never realy takeing notice of the condition of there nuts but ......
Now some nuts have a bulge some dont .... some need a hernina opp as mine do but my new nuts have no bulge my old ones do ......
So i fitted my new nuts which are ford nuts half inch thread ......
But i can see the seat in the alloy rim with new nuts but carnt with old nuts
The tayper is the same universal tayper on the nuts im told i didnt want to jayco nuts to rust out again but new ones may not be good enough without the bulge on the top of the tayper ??????????
Nothing worse than rusty nuts have others suffered from this ???? Have others changed there nuts ???? I was trying to get better nuts but may have to put inferior nuts back on
Can anyone help me with my nut problem.........see att pics of nuts View attachment 65854
If the flange (bevel) covers all the way out over the counter sink they should be OK.Rusty nuts are still better than no nuts or blue nuts.
More flange is also better than less flange. The question I cannot answer is if less flange is enough.
Seriously. If it was me, I would go to an electroplater and see if it is possible to have the old nuts rechromed. If done properly they should last a lot longer and will fit properly. Check if it will cost less if you do the preparation and ask them how to prepare them. I am not sure how to efficiently replace old chrome. But electroplaters probably do a lot of rechroming for people restoring old cars.
I have just asked a mate of mine in Melbourne who has restored a Jensen Interceptor and is a member of an auto club if he can recommend and electroplater.
take care

There was one thing I didn't know I knew, everything, but you've cleared that upHey @Bluey you need to know if the taper on the new nuts fit the taper in the wheels you need to coat the taper on the nut with that blue stuff engineers use I can’t think of the name it’s a type of dye and then make sure it fits properly. Hard to explain call crustycon he’ll know he knows everything or talk to a fitter at work
If the flange (bevel) covers all the way out over the counter sink they should be OK.
Could ask a metal workshop for an opinion.
Don't forget to retorque the nuts after 100 Km. (torque wrench)
On Big Mal, 16" alloys the recommended is 120nm or 88.5 ftlbs, think Ford hubs, Cruiser stud pattern....... haven't broke a stud yet..... and the U bolts have 88nm about 65ftlbs....... I have written it on my torque wrench so I don't forget.... my Volvo truck with alloys only had 110ftlbs I think it was.
