Got a couple of steel wheels to stick on the back of the bus but from reading previous posts, it seems I might be advised to get R12 wheel nuts for the studs. I ran them using the R14s (OE VW wheel nuts) for a while, they don`t sit quite right and I`m just a bit worried about them coming off!
Please correct me if I`m talking gibberish
Anyone know where I can get some????????
Thanks folks

Re: Mercedes wheel nuts.
Yep I bought some on eBay, I'll root out the link once home. I'd say it's pretty important!T3BUS wrote:Got a couple of steel wheels to stick on the back of the bus but from reading previous posts, it seems I might be advised to get R12 wheel nuts for the studs.

Re: Mercedes wheel nuts.
here you go:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-x-M14-x-1- ... Sw7ehXQtub
These are not the same seller i used (2 years ago) but i think theyre the same bolts.
for the rear, youll need NUTS, not bolts - if youre on stock hubs / threads at the back. but ask the seller for matching nuts.
i bought just 1 bolt first to check the fitment, then bought the remaining 9 for the front - probably wise to do so, just in case!

Re: Mercedes wheel nuts.
Thanks for that but I`ve got studs on the back. Did you remove these for your van?
