deep dish steel rims - regular studs?

capped nuts wouldn't make any difference - you would still have insufficient thread engagement because the studs are too short.
they shouldn't be tighter than a tight thing! 81lbft is the correct torque, which aint that tight.
the wheels are located by the action of the mating tapers on the inside of the nut and the dish on the wheel. the strength of the joint is dependent on the surface area of the mating threads - more surface (mating) area = more friction = more strength.

I wouldn't be happy belting down the motorway without full thread engagement on me wheel nuts!

PS - I once had both front wheels come off me mini simultaneously at 80mph, the front end dug in and it flipped end-over-end several times. fortunately, it was an oval track racer and I had a full harness, roll cage and crash helmet.
Might be a good thing that ah'm gonna be changin' the tyres over then Trewy i.e the muds on the wolf's and the at's on the normal rims. Bin doin' 60-70 mph no probs with these, and like ah said before, the previous owner had no probs either and he didn't hang about;)

yup, you'll have no problem at all, probably for ages, then one day they might just come loose....
unlikely, but are you a betting man?
 
if yer want the studs fer the deep dish wheels it's part no. stc7623 Micro cat says £76.21+vat for em :eek: :eek: :eek:

jeesus frukkin christo.

Still, £100 versus dead wife n kids when wheel falls off on motorway. I know of at least 2 "wrong stud / wolf wheel / fall off" situations

Is it definately for deep dish versus wolf, or the same stud for both? I take it thats the slot ended jobby.

Anyone got a "personal use copy" of microcat on cd? Can't download it onto my comp despite many attempts (wrong o/s). Certainly beats ploughing thru parts manual.

HANG ABOOT - that code came up as locking wheel nut set - deep dish alloy wheels.
 
right - done an EXHAUSTIVE search and the part number is....

FRC7577

not in microcat, or parts book - but wheel stud Defender XD TUL TUM.

£16 each from our friends at Land Rover

or http://www.britpart.com/pdf/military.pdf our bestest supplier of QUALITY!

at the grand total of £3 a pop inc vat. from LRdirect.com
LRdirect.com : Land Rover Parts & Accessories for Defender, Series, Range Rover, P38, Discovery & Freelander

which is 60 quids, versus 320 plus vat

In fact, like Mr Remmington, I liked them so much I bought them.
