Locking wheel nuts/bolts

[salmonchild]

Afternoon all, have searched through the forum but can't find the answer I am looking for so here goes...

Recently bought some minilite(esque) wheels for my '71 police Morris, deal came with 12 wheel nuts and 4 locking nuts. The problem I have is that the locking 'nuts' are infact locking 'bolts' and sat at my desk I have no idea how this would work. Do the supplied bolts require the removal of one of the wheel studs for installation, should I return them for nuts or is there another solution?

Any help would be gratefully received.

Welcome to the forum! The bolts are useless to you........ are the nuts correct thread for a Minor ?? And are the wheels correct 4" pcd ?? Where did they come from ??

You won't be able to use a bolt in a Minor hub - there is no thread, the studs push in from behind the hub and have splines.

Cheers for the info, they came from Bull Motif so I assumed that they would know what they are doing regarding Minor parts.

Seems nothing is ever simple...

Thank you for the welcome, was a one time member of the MMOC, need to renew that and get back out with the club again- had great fun on the London Chapter Bridges Run yonks ago...

The wheels and nuts will be fine then -just some madness with the locking 'bolts' - give them a ring!
