Thanks OS! A box of grommets was just delivered. Not sure who you are? Not latex rubber/silicone for a change.

kws Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 I need to buy some long shank nuts to suit the hotwires I just bought for my Marina. I haven't used or bought shank nuts before, so I presume I just need the outer diameter to be a close fit in the hole and as long as I can fit without bottoming out on the hub? Are there any precautions I should take since the wheels will be nut centric not hub centric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 Last time I bought some , the most economical way was to get them from super cheap But yes, snug fit in the holes, and not longer in the shank than the wheel is thickness wise And steel washers. Also if you are getting close to bottoming out the nut, make sure the wheel stud doesn't taper out at the bottom. I've seen that happen and the nut got stretched bigger at the shank end, making it very difficult to get back out of the wheel... 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 I got some metric shank nuts off supercheap and they were a bit shit. Threads were on the piss. Ended up finding a set off rock auto which were mint and significantly cheaper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
