Title: wheel stud thread size
Post by: Gmg31 on Wednesday,March 09, 2016, 02:56:24 AM

I'm trying to get some new wheel nuts  and locking wheel nuts for my old Europa Minilites.  Does anyone know the thread size of the studs on a 1970 S2 please and does anyone have any recommended suppliers in the Uk.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure all the Europas had 3/8 - 24. Richard at Banks probably has them, but they they should be easy to find.

All of my stock S2s and TCSs have 3/8-24 studs with the threaded portion being approx. 3/4" in length. As far as lug nut specialists are concerned, I've seen this vendors name mentioned in several British car forums.
