2A wheel stud thread size

I've never tried to tap a wheelnut, but I'd have thought the steel hardness would be pretty close to that of any tap you could buy.

I also thought it was important to get the right collar profile, not sure what the proper name for it is, but basically the countersink in the hole needs to match the sides of the nut otherwise you can get too much pressure in some places, not enough in others (sorry, memory failing).

Nothing fancy about wheel nut metal usually. Land Rover ones are just good quality high tensile stuff. They're not hardened.

Someone will make them for a price - but are things that bad? I'd be tempted to suggest that you'd be wasting your money. Or are you wanting to secure a spare wheel?

The basic problem is that smaller threaded nuts will have less meat on them so your new nuts could have very thin walls. Probably a bad idea!

Get it well insured and just chill out. Life is too short dude! If you weld them to the axles they will just nick the car.

Thanks for the size I have found a place that lists locking wheel nuts to suit
