Richard B Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Just a guess, try the wheel nut on your 2500S? :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 If a big saloon stud is correct, then Rimmers have them for £1.20 each in their sale.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Just had a look at Rimmers;Sprint Wheel Nuts- 7/16 UNF from 1976 UKC5476Sprint Wheel Nuts- 3/8 UNF to 1976 UKC849 So you have the later ones, you could either upgrade your wheel studs to 2.5 Spec or buy another set of smaller wheelnuts. Know what I'd do 8)ps Rimmers list aluminium OE nuts or steel replacement ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledo Man Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 1300 Dollies have 3/8" studs...I've got a set of front 7/16" studs if you're wanting to do a stud swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toledo Man Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I got your PMYou can get Sprint whel nuts for 3/8" studs. It was the later Sprints that had 7/16" studs. See if you can get a set of 3/8" nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partsaver Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Or be really different and stand out from the crowd by not fitting sprint wheels to a 1300dolomite.(p.s ALL dolomites are RWD so no need to refer to your car as 1300RWD dolly!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willows40 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 why not just get some 3/8 sprint wheel nuts, Most places supply them then problem solved.cheers andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Is a Big saloon wheel stud teh same as a late Sprint wheel stud??Big saloon wheel studs are nice and cheap.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 You can fit big Saloon studs to Spitfire / GT6 hubs. Just done it :)Had to grind a flat in the side (of base) of the studs for the front hubs.As the GT6 / Dolomite use the same size small studs & the Spint uses the big Saloon size studs; I'd expect them to be ok.
