Need some help with my nuts.
Need some help with my nuts.
So.. The SJ came with the spare, and the mount... But no nuts for the wheel once on the mount - So currently cruising with a big black mount sticking out and no spare on it!
Being a simpleton I thought it would be easy, measure the diameter (11 mill) and get nuts - though I've been reliably informed there are different thread types?
So.. I need 3 nuts - But which 3? From where?
And... What's the best way to secure the wheel - padlock through the lock hole?

Should just be wheel nuts so M12x1.25
I have loads of spares if you want a few?

Excellent, thanks for that.
Won't postage be as much/more than I can buy them for?

In fact we're not quite there, they're not wheel nuts - bolts are part of mount so they're everyday normal nuts, to go on bolts not in holes!

Re: Need some help with my nuts.
I'm pretty sure they are wheel nuts. Try a wheel but on it and see.

Re: Need some help with my nuts.
It it's an original spare wheel mount it will use standard wheel nuts, Sjs use wheel nuts not bolts take one off one of your wheels and try, I won't want anything for a few nuts, just cover postageAntD wrote:In fact we're not quite there, they're not wheel nuts - bolts are part of mount so they're everyday normal nuts, to go on bolts not in holes!
Re: Need some help with my nuts.
There's definitely three bolts sticking out of the mount, welded in. No holes for wheel nuts. Maybe it's not a standard mount...?

I'll upload a photo when I get home.

Re: Need some help with my nuts.
Sounds standard three bolts 2 at top 1 at bottom, wheel nuts fit

Re: Need some help with my nuts.
Just to clarify this is a wheel nut, 19mm with an m12x1.25 thread
and it fits on a suzuki hub and spare wheel mount
