still fascinated with wheels...moving onto nuts and bolts...

Post by ermie571 »

Hi all,

remember the palava with the mangel? Got some sound advice from you lot and they look great. Simply removed them little bolts.

Now, they don't appear to need the longer bolts etc, but the taper seems a little large? Do I need to swap the nuts and bolts, or is it ok to run as is?

Checking they are tight regularly, and seem ok at minute.

What should they be torqued to please?

thanks again.....hopefully this will be the end of my wheely questions!
