Many Thks.

Bear in mind that Virgos usually appeared on 240GLTs, and the 200-series cars use imperial threads, whereas the 7/900's have metric threads, forthe wheel nuts.

Nice one Loki,now somebody please tell me what thread the wheel stud is on an 87 745 and does anybody have spare original wheel nut they would be willing to let me have (for a beer token contribution).My previous wheel nut supplier says he can do them no problem if I supply a sample and the correct thread size.
Many thks

Thread size is M12 x 1.5, angle is 60 degrees, first link is open end nuts for wheels with centre caps that cover the nuts, second link is enclosed end nuts for wheels where the nuts are on show :

Your choice which you need/want. The chrome covers previously linked to fit well on the enclosed end nuts :



Yes those are S/V40 "Crater" alloys that use the same nuts!

Thanks muchly for the reminder. That is a fundamental point.

Assuming they're the same as the 900-series, and you're not too fussy about their condition/being open-ended I've got 16 of them lying around. (The other 4 are locking nuts but I'm not sure where the key is that fits them.)
