neilnaz Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 What a catchy title eh?!I am after information about the shank size of revolution wheel studs/sleeve nuts. I am going to order some alloy ones. I have standard wheel studs (3/8 UNF?) and want to order some alloy versions of the sleeve nuts. Could anyone please confirm whether I need 9/16 or 11/16 shank diameter sleeve nuts? I haven't got my car to hand but will check if noone can confirm.Many thanks in advanceNeil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ.Lintern Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I thought the Revs that fit 3/8 studs had the smaller 9/16 shank, though I've read somewhere that more recent Revs have 11/16 shanks, so can't be sure. Mine were from a TR7 so I had to upgrade to M12 studs - a worthwhile upgrade! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilnaz Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Thanks I think AJ!!! ;D :PI'll nip up to the garage this week and whip a stud off and measure - it is the only way. I reckon mine are likely to be 9/16 but I'll check before ordering.Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 They can be either - depends on the holes in your wheels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilnaz Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Thanks James! I am aware that this is the measurement for the wheel hole diameter and was just hoping that someone knew what that 'standard' dimension was as I was about to order some. I have to order the items specifying dimensions as opposed to buying ones that relate to a standard fitment Triumph Revolution wheel. As AJ said they have been supplied as 9 and 11/16 so I will measure mine.Regards, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilnaz Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Not that this means much to anyone else but I measured Revolution wheel studs and they are 11/16" which is fascinating isn't it............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I've seen the same 13" 4-spokes in both sizes (different sets obv)11/16 is good - means you can go for larger studs if you want to.I've got 11/16 on the Revs I plan to fit... Will have both sizes of studs - 3/8 front and M12 back... so two sizes of nuts... that's the plan anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ.Lintern Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Two sizes of studs? What's the reasoning behind that...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilnaz2 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hi James and AJ. I have been following discussions about people changing wheelstuds to M12 and can see the benefits. I had dismissed doing this but will bear it in mind for the future. I am waiting for my alloy sleeve nuts to replace the chrome ones that have got a little bit corroded in places.James why bother only changing the rear studs? Is it just as the rear is where the risk is or something to do with your front set-up that precludes changing to larger studs?Cheers, Neil(Neilnaz logged on at home and have to pretend to be my twin!)

James Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 The rear studs are already M12 because they're MGF hubs - the fronts are alloy with 3/8 in them. I don't want to disturb the 3/8 in the alloy because, well, it's alloy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
