Rod Thonger Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 Went into Halfords today to find sime wheel nuts to ensure that my mag alloys stayed attached to the right car but the spec didn't seem to match. Is there a problem with steel/mags, chemical reactions, etc? Any info or advice? thanks/Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS CLARK Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Got mine via Caterham direct, but they are a poor design with a steel cover that pushes on. This to cover the 'puzzle' nut coded to the nuts. The plastic removal tool broke first time! 'Masha' (Matt Stears) has also had the same happen to his set. Good luck and keep looking!

murph7355 Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 You mentioned mag alloys - are they R500 ones? If so, the wheel nuts are particular for those wheels so normal ones don't fit. I don't believe there's a problem with steel/mag interaction as the nuts you get with R500 wheels are steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Thonger Posted November 20, 2001 Author Share Posted November 20, 2001 Thanks guys - appreciate the help; Paul, I'll look for the part number from Demon Thieves. Andy, I don't think they are R500 wheels but I'll keep it in mind. cheers/Rod Edited by - Rod Thonger on 20 Nov 2001 23:48:51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Campbell Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I called into the factory for a set. They offered the type that Chris mentions but advised not to buy as they were crap !! They suggested I try any good Ford garage ! Steve Campbell P889 GRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
