Help Wheel Bolts Again - Urgent

Postby blueg33 » Fri Feb 15, 2013 1:27 pm

My new wheel bolts and nuts arrived today

Both M12 x 1.25

Nuts fit, bolts dont!

Are the bolts really M12 x 1.5 ? I dont have anything to measure the thread with accurately but visually the pitch on the 1.25's looks finer than the pitch on my old bolts.

I have BigMVS coming on monday and I need tio hav ethe right bolts before he gets here!

Cheers

Any one want 12 M12 x 1.25 28mm long wheel nuts with a 60 degree seat, using a 19mm hex head?

Hi Martin

Standard bolts have the wrong taper, I need a 60 degree taper. So I can have the wheels ready for monday I am off to a scrappy first thing tomorrow to see if I can get bolts.
