Factory Correct 1275GT wheel nuts?

Post by bubbacluby »

Hi all

I was wanting to know if someone could verify the original factory fitment wheel nuts that came on 10" wheeler 1275GT's

I have two Aussie Gt's (these are a little different to its UK brother) But they came with the same wheels.

I have checked part numbers between the two cars of the wheel nuts and they are the same: AHA8785, but wanted a picture that can be verified as correct.

We have been having a bit of discussion of what is correct here: http://forum.minidriver.com.au/showthre ... =53&page=2

Now does the correct nut have: (pictures in link makes following description make sense)

* hemisherical ended nut
* or an edge

Thanks for your help

all i can tell you is that the aha8785 superceedes to a cn2, which is a 60 degree taper chrome nut.

the steel, open ended version of that is a 113087, which is the standard smaller nut used on 12" wheels

I have some AHA 8785's and have taken a picture for you.
That should solve the problem.
