How much are you asking Stuart ?

Hi, John! Comment sa-va? I'm out with the Vitesse at Oulton today. You didnt see that last year, but you' ll recognise the van. My good wishes to Ann-Marie! John

I believe this is unlikely to happen as the flange on the stud has to be ground to fit passed the shoulder at the rear of the hub, hence blocking it from turning. james

Isn’t the issue that he can’t get the wheel off due to the spinning security nut ?

The only TR that I saw this year on the Tour Auto. This at le Circuit du Vigeant .

If the stud is the threaded-in type and the nut is just spinning without undoing, does that not mean that the stud has come un-screwed from the hub and is now free? Presumably the only thing stopping it coming out is the locating flange being too wide to come through the hole in the wheel. If that is the case, surely removing the other three wheelnuts will allow the wheel to be taken off complete with that stud. Worst case would be if it is the later press-fit type of stud and the spline is no longer gripping.

Sorry I misread. The original stud will pull through the brake drum. The larger diameter of the stud between the two threads is to locate the brake drum on. This is what a drive flange and studs looks like This is the rear drive flange and studs with the brake drum removed (for some reason the axle shaft nut has also been removed - This is not required to be removed)

Myles, If somehow you can stop that rotation, the job will become significantly easier, as you can simply remove the nut, take the wheel and brake drum off the car and replace the stud with one of these. http://STUD WHEEL REPAIR TR2-4 (revingtontr.com) What type of wheels do you have? Are you prepared to scrap the wheel, and replace it? Just a further thought. I wonder if removing the other wheel nuts and having a friend push/pull on the wheel (car jacked up and very well supported) whilst you try to undo the dodgy stud will help you remove it. I can't remember if the shou

Thanks Hamish Tom’s name has been mentioned to me by someone else so I may give him a call. Steve

Hi Mike, I’m interested, please email me details on stevebaker267@gmail.com steve

A „wheel rim lock nut“….

Thanks Graeme. Cheers

195x65 Pirelli P6's. The cheapness is due to the 196x65 being a common size for many car models.

Replacement stud that fits from behind the flange rather than screwing in as original. The head is large enough to not pull through the drive flange and brake drum. https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-100869PRESSFIT

Hi Jerry - not this one, it's one that needs a special profile to undo, but doesn't spin normally. Thanks Peter - would that stud pull through the brake drum or does the shoulder have too big a diameter? Myles

Thanks guys ,been thinking about it if Rally D don’t come good I will buy the original calipers from tr shop and use my steel wheels and caps Nick

Could the Morgan 16” wire wheel be suitable? http://shop.mwsint.com/product_details.asp?id=606

Thanks Rob. I have ordered some of each see how it looks.

May be a bit wide not sure of offset https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-RS1743K

Do what the racers do. On my 4 cyl race engines (without additional rocker feed from the camshaft) I fit a small restrictor bush into the hole of the rocker shaft pillar at the pillar to head point. using a 3 mm hole for the oil feed, it's plenty' Which is why I won't fit an auxiliary rocker shaft feed, robbing oil and pressure from parts of the engine that needs it. Mick Richards.

At the risk of stating the obvious, or totally mis-understanding, isn't the special anti theft nut supposed to spin round? Jerry

Thanks David, had an email this afternoon from Rally design asking for some pics N

cheers stuart

Hello Richard - I would be happy to take the Goodwood TR Group newsletters. We are approaching our 30th anniversary of the group and, although it's likely I also have those newsletters, it would be good to save them. I'm not sure when, where I could take them - but perhaps we could arrange something at a mutually attended event, or other convenient time/place. Rod
