Caterham wheel nut sizes...
Hi guys
Ive just bought a spare wheel holder from caterham. The part that came is what I wanted, but the threads for the wheel studs are m10 and not m12. Did
caterham change there stud sizes at some point?
Cheers
Shaun

That's right, Triumph Spitfire have 3/8 inch nuts. I've a set of them to sell for a small price. I will put MGF wheels one my Triumph
Spitfire running gear. They fit nicely but I use specific nuts with washers.
