To explain the little that I "know".

Skandix list studs for the 100, 200 & 1800 (one is genuine Volvo) and different studs for the 700/900. I think that might be definitive that there is an issue. http://skandix.de/en/spare-parts/sus...heel-stud/552/

EDIT: And this is the Skandix listing for wheel nuts. Also different between 100/200/1800 v. 700/900. http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts...l-nut/553/?s=r

And.

It appears that a 1/2" UNF nut will fit an m12 x 1.25 stud, but, only make contact at the edges of the thread. So NI your 240 nuts on a 740 might have been a lucky escape? I don't know. But I have been pointed to this. http://www.trailersailerplace.com.au...p?f=11&t=13548 It's about a problem with a trailer wheel studs and nuts. The web page AND the comments are interesting.

Mine a definitely 7 & 9 series nuts, so to avoid any potential or until I can find a 240 to double check them on I will say I don't have any. I don't want to take the risk of sending 20+ nuts to find they are no use to you.

I hope your 240 nuts you used on a 740 are not a risk but it seems they might be a risk to you.

For myself I suspect 740 M12 nuts might be far too tight for 240 1/2 UNF studs anyway but I am not taking the risk. As I said "There seems to be a problem. So at the moment I am asking specifically for 240 wheel nuts please." I don't want to take the risk of 740 nuts. Thank you for the opportunity.

Thank you muchly to everyone for your offered help.
