OK yea i think that is probubly the obvious answer as its not a case of they are not safe or whatever just that in my opinion they Don't look right and several people have aired the same views so different nuts it is then Cheer's.

Merc is 12mm, VW etc 14mm, the ones I sell suit the 14mm radius. i.e, not suitable for merc fitment, but would work at a stretch. TBH, the nuts you are supplied are a bit of an oddball anyway, the radius is to usually suit vehicle with a 12mm thread, not 14mm. OK back to the original question - hav...

.. my dad has been banging on for the last 8 years that we should swap the velle for a "more modern" one let alone the syncro........ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: My old mans the same..... ''What you got this old banger for? Don't you wanted to get something abit more modern?'' Been ther...

I am driving a borrowed one at the moment until I get a replacement engine sorted for the VW. It is BORING. It is a "Friendee" weekend Bongo van with a 2.5 Auto Diesel. Acres of horrid grey plastic, tinny body, rattles and squeaks despite it appearing to be in A1 condition. We will be usi...

This would do more harm with alloy wheels methinks, although the retaining set-screws may crush into the alloy, saving the day... I have a set of Audi alloys that I use, which came with 3 of them cut-out in the screw positions... I have to be careful to make sure two of those 3 (other's a spare tha...

OK the worrying thing is i did even start to think about it for a while , and i can see the logic in the way they sort of look at it - i have spent in excess of £2,500 this year and guess next years budget will be at least half of that - and so a bloody Bongo at say 6,000 bucks would in theory save ...

The clue is that the nuts don't all go on the same amount, and when you tighten them up they don't feel right at all, the torque doesn't come up quickly enough, or at all. Will put this warning in the Wiki. I,m glad i asked this quetion now , possibly save some one a big crunch or worse !! That is ...

What do we think about this,??? my whole beloved family have accused me of madness for spending all my hard earned cash on my Syncro - why they even got the wife at it now, :shock: and last night came out with , why don't we trade it in for a Mazda Bongo- :twisted: I don't bloody think so, i'll trad...

Glen i'm glad i'm not the only one who bought a viking conversion - some idiot did some serious hacking to mine also, ie the panel for door window done with a tin opener - in fact most panel butchery he did that way- the water tank imploded when you tried to fill it - the most serious though were t...

No worries - just glad i did'nt get stitched up for once- Paul Jarrol tyres - Monmouth.

The nice thing about the Mefros is they have the correct offset, so don't need longer studs and spacers like some alternative steel rims do. The Mefros use a 12mm ball radius nut versus the 14mm ball radius on the VW, that's why I included nuts with the ones I had shipped over. Sandman, the wheels ...
