Scimitar wheels on an MGB.. What wheel nuts?

[Mike]

I have just bought some scimitar wheels for One off the MGB's and I'm strugglign to find any wheel nuts? i know they need to have flat washers on the back and the thread needs to be 7/16" unf. if i get the wrong length shank will this cause me problems?

does anyone have any links to some on ebay they have used?

any help apreciated! pictures soon!!

Assuming you bought dunlops, won't they use the same nuts as the MG versions?

[Mike]

yeah sorry, they are dunlop composites.
the standard wheels are steel and have a tapered face were as the composites have a flat ally face.

I think Josh is saying why not use the nuts that the MG's used on the Jubilee/V8 versions which had the Dunlop wheels fitted as standard, I think they'll be item 32 on this page

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't Scimitar and MGB both have 1/2"unf wheels studs?

MGB is definitely 1/2" UNF. Scimitar might be 7/16"

The SE6 me and a mate stripped for the suspension/running gear had 1/2unf studs, I've got them lined up ready to refit in my axle (when I get a few more to make them 5 stud per wheel), and I bought MGB 1/2unf studs to fit the American wheels on my Rover P6 to replace the 7/16unf studs. Just wondered if I was lucky or they are all the same?

Scims are 1/2" UNF so you can use some of them. You can buy hand made stainless steel ones from a member of the club if you want his details?
