Hey guys. I'm having trouble in locating a full set of mag wheel nuts to suit my M/boy. I have a set of Cheviot 12 x 5 mags and got a set of mag nuts made for the m/b from a local tyre place, when I got them the thread was wrong and the shank was about 1 - 2 ml to small. the guy said these where to spec

, NOT. mmmm can anybody help where I can purchase some or has anybody had some made. thank you.. cris

I have a set to suit. They are a bit tatty but did come off a set of cheviot mags fitted to an MB.
I'll double check the condition and get you a price if you are interested. Even if you're not I'll measure them so you can get a new set made.

Thanks guys feels like I'm getting somewhere now. I'll wait to see if Brayden has a set if not I'll give them a call. the ones I ordered in was m10x1.25 but the thread was all wrong and the outside dia of the shank was smaller, so maybe the m10x1.5 are the ones to go. maybe, cris

I got my wheel nuts from Repco, to suit my mags. I don't remember the size but i think i know where the receipt is, so maybe i can grab the repco part # & you can see if they will do the job for you?
Cheers

For the front, couldn't you just run the swift front disc's? I thought they had the larger studs?
The rear would be a bit of work but probably worth it in the long run.

if you use the swift front discs, you will need wheels bigger than 12inch to clear the calipers.
i'm also looking at the rear not for performance, just to get rid of the NON-self adjusting drums (even if i replace them with drum brakes that were self adjusting i will be happy!!!)
if you just wanted to go to 12mm on the rear i'm sure you can just tap/knock out the 10mm studs drill bigger hole and put in 12mm ones....

I thought the early swift was a 12" rim as well? Just the swift had 12mm studs & the 'boy was 10mm? Am i wrong?

SA310 (1L) Swift had 10mm studs and small brakes with 12" wheels. SA413 (GTi) had 12mm studs and larger brakes, with 13" wheels for clearance.
