Colin Lindsay Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I've been rummaging again and found almost a full set - 15 - of these wheel nuts, but they're not the usual black-collared GT6 or Spitfire style, which is the one to the right in the photo. Anyone recognise the one on the left? I suspect they may be for alloys but can't confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 they all seem to have the std 60deg taper so will suit most wheels , i would hazard a guess the shoulder nut is for retaining some sort of hub cap like the plastic spitfire ones held on with two of the four wheel nuts ??? pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Left = aftermarket spitfire alloy nut right = standard spitfire steel wheel (missing the rubber/plastic ring that retains the wheel trim?) Would be my guesses. (Errors and omissions excepted, Your mileage may very etc etc.) Cheers, Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted August 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 The value of your house may go up as well as down etc etc. Thanks guys - I know the tapered one uses a plastic collar to hold the wheel centre on, and that the others are definitely Triumph, but no idea what for. Certain on-line auctions are offering max £1 seller fees this weekend so am digging out a lot of useless (to me!) bits to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted August 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 They're weighty, but I keep costs as low as possible... not as high as certain rates tho, which seem to charge the same for a feather or a bag of coal... My local PO stung me the other day, a small parcel for which I had charged £3 cost over £7 to send, which was amazing given the low weight and the fact that other heavier parcels sent before and after from different locations cost far less. There are complaints and grumblings about that Post Office and some locals refuse to use him. I've been bitten, so that's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
