AndyR1 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hi im planning on doing the freelander wheel stud conversion on my herald but im running steel wheels on it. Im struggling to find wheel nuts that will work in the taper of the steel wheel. Has anyone done this conversion and if so what nuts did you use?

nang Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Can you not drill and retap your existing wheel nuts M12. ? Probably best done in a lathe. Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I used the 60 degree taper nuts, the ends get a little chewed as the contact area is small, but no issues. Or get some sh open nuts from an escort or similar, that works fine but they are best under a hubcap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I sourced a load of ford m12 nuts suitable for the steels, different taper etc. I think they were either focus or Mondeo, it's a long while ago though. I'll check back through my paperwork and see if I can find specifically which they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
