[nofinchance]

I have given in to the dark side and bought something off fleabay.A TR has had to die but it donated it's organs to a fellow Tr so not all bad.I have a purchased a set of Proper BL alloys to replace my 'carlos fandango' ones that my car came with.My only problem is I have no wheel nut spanner with the car only the jack also are the nuts the same do you think? I have attached pic's .My wheels(ahem for sale good tyres[;)]) and my new boots.[img]<a%20href="http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/nofinchance/?action=view¤t=DSCF0621.jpg"%20target="_blank"><img%20src="http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/nofinchance/DSCF0621.jpg"%20border="0"%20alt="old%20wheels%20that%20came%20with%20car"></a>[/img]<a href="http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/nofinchance/?action=view¤t=df57_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/nofinchance/df57_1.jpg" border="0" alt="new BL alloys"></a>

Hi Steph,
I hope the drink is going down well, lovely eve for it [;)] Doubt if the same as standard wheel nuts, look smaller, the standard size is 7/8" or 22mm in new money they look more like 3/4" or 19mm from here. Normaly after market (and most other wheels) have tapered face the nut fits against.
Have one for me [:p]
Cheers John

Thanks 'stevea'.I have read and re read the intsructions but just can't get the pic thing to work[:(!].
John you are correct the nuts I have will not work with my new wheels[:(].I went to see the Triumph specialist who is working on my car today and he says I need dished nuts.As for my car he is s l o w but sure.He wanted to get an MOT first before tackling any major engine work and he missed the appt because my fuel tank full of rust is blocking the fuel lines.He is gonna fit a temp tank in the boot to get the car going and then we take it from there.At this rate I will be in my car for summer 2010 [:0].
And my rum and coke went down fine thankyou[:I] I'd had a ruff day and posting probs you know .....[:X]
