Miff Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Have just got the caterham supplied nuts out and don't think much of them. On my old 7 (1998) they were much better, nuts with a sleeve that slid over them and locked. Also caterham now do not do a locking central bolt for the spare wheel which worked by a similar mechanism. Anyone know where i can get any of these type of wheel nuts and what type? Anyone know of anyone manufacturing a locking spare wheel carrier bolt? Cheers'n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Sewell Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I am hitting the same problem with the spare wheel carrier. Following the insurance rebuild, we found that my wheels don't work with the current 'T' piece bolt as it is too short and fouls the hole in the middle of the wheel. My only solution at the moment is to use a short bolt through the wheel spacer direct into the chassis. The head size is 15mm but not sure about the thread size. Because it is recessed and an odd size, it is at least a little more difficult to remove than the 'T' piece. Low tech luddite - xflow and proud!

Graham Sewell Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Strange, cos Mark said a couple of weeks ago that he couldn't get them any more! Low tech luddite - xflow and proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
