AidanT Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hi, ANyone know where to buy 7/16" Steel wheel nuts with a 13mm Sleeve for the above? Rimmers is very expensive and I have tried quite a few other suppliers but with no luck - They all have a 5/8" sleeve and would have to double up on washers which I don't think is a great idea!

thescrapman Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 You may be better off converting to the later studs and getting the matching nuts. Or convert to M12 studs and look for some metric sleev nuts. LandRover Freelander are the studs you need if going M12. Have the correct spline size to match the original Triumph studs.

Cookie Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Aiden, try a post on the Triumph Dolomite forum, there will be plenty of Sprint owners on their who may have details of an alternative supplier. You don't need to be a Dolomite Club member to open an account and post on their forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AidanT Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi Thanks I have added a question on to the forum Found this on Ebay They look and are described right What do you think? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLASSIC-FORD-and-other-Cars-7-16-UNF-16-WHEEL-NUTS-5-8-SLEEVE-ALLOYS-/380994713600?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AidanT Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 After a long search, it would seem that these nuts are too specialist to get anywhere but a triumph specialist. I have purchased from Rimmers in the end as they seem to be the cheapest. I have gone for the Steel alternatives as advised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 glad youre nearly sorted, if you change the studs make sure if you have domed nuts that the stud length is not going to bottom out before the wheel is secure Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AidanT Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi Pete From other comments and my own thought I think the 45 mm studs should be right although again I am having difficulty finding tapered or domed headed ones My calculations are to add the 10 mm length to cover the spacer depth and although the alloy is obviously thicker than the standard wheel, the nuts have a half inch sleeve which will compensate for that Aidan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
