CHRIS211083 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 The ones Laurence listed have the wrong pitch. I currently have ford ones but will just have to cut them down as they are 5mm too high. Was hoping you had found some short ones in the 1.5 pitch.Will keep searching for a bit.Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibbo1500 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hi all,I have a set of freelander studs for my 1500.does anyone know what nuts i would be able to use with sprint alloys?I have looked, but it seems I am a little too dense to find what I am looking for!! :-/CheersSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS211083 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 You need m12 1.5 thread pitch. I have two sets spare pm me and I'll sell them to you cheaper than buying new.Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hmm, sprint nuts are different to "normal" in that they are sleeved and the seat is flatone of these (halfway down) may be suitable...http://www.graystonengineering.com/wheelnutmenu.htmBut you may have been better off getting 7/16 studs (early ford or probably from a sprint) as sprints came with teh 7/16studs as std (except the early ones) Then you could have easily sourced a set of sprint nuts. Try the dolomite forum, may be worth a try at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I got my nuts for the Sprint wheels from Speed Shack, but they were shit. I believe there are two size holes on Sprint wheels, mine were 19mm. The shank of the nuts weren't all the same and their threads weren't true either. All 16 required being put up in a lathe to be corrected. They also started to show signs of rust quickly.
