RH thread turns CW to tighten, the pulley turns CW so should drag the nut in, should it be able to rotate about the spindle at all. Also had a damn great spring washer underneath the nut.

As for knock ons, how would it be possible to fit them on the wrong side? They can't all be the same hand shirley...

It depends on which way you are looking at the pulley when you describe its turning direction. Looking face on to the pulley and the nut, you want the nut turning in the opposite direction to the pulley as you are looking at it to ensure it tightens rather than loosens.

As for the knock ons.........!!!

There are two different threads on each of the four stub axles, adaptors, or whatever you want to call them. Two left-hand threaded ones and two right-hand threaded ones.

So you put the normal right-hand threaded ones on the near side, and the left-hand threaded ones on the off side.
So as the car goes down the road, the nearside wheels turn anticlockwise and the offsides do the opposite.
The plonker who built the car had put the splined adaptors on the wrong sides!!

I know a lot about this as I replaced normal wheels with 4 nuts .with adaptors for splined wire wheels on my Marlin.
I'm sadly on the wrong pooter to be able to put up a pic.

Tis near impossible to build a reservoir int uk. Too much opposition. Water companies have plans to do it but can't. In light ov the media coverage there may be a bit more public support int future.

Accoding to t'news, they are about to open a new one somewhere, or start building it, or summat.

Need to research it a bit more.

We are lucky in that Bournemouth Water (as was, now bought up) keeps finding new ways to store water so we don't get hoespipe bans and are encouraged to use as much as we like, (to line their pockets of course, and incidentally Wessex who do our sewage.)

Wheels go in oposite directions as you go down the road🤔🤔🤔. Yep conclusion edit incoming:D

I had a little think about this with my little bit of Newtons elbow thought I have left. The pulley not being keyed could be the key reason (see what i did there:p)

If the pulley spins it could drag the nut off if it wasnt, what it is.
If it was keyed to the shaft I maybe inclined to say it should be the other way round.

Fast running out of techy brain cells today:oops:.

The thread is 5/8" x 18 TPI UNF. The L/H stub has a L/H thread.

From the Morris Minor Owners' club.

For exactly the same reason, but they didn't usually run with knock-ons!!

I see what you are getting at, yes the inertia of the loose pulley could inadvertently work against everything.

I understand threads on Knock on stub axles, and other applications.

You missed the whole point of my quote about "wheels going in opposite directions" :D you better edit that quick before Kev gets hold of it:oops:.

She's only flown over for a consultation which takes place tomoz. Then she'll be back early the follwoing morning.
The op isn't until the 29th.
Hope the flight will be bettern her one out.
Her plane was massively delayed due to the original one having to go back to Bornemuff and re-land, technical problem.
They eventually got a plane in from Marseilles, didn't clean it just shoved the passengers straight on it.
The poor beggars on the one from Bournemouth had to be bussed to God knows where to be then flown in.
Thanks for your kind thoughts.;):)

Maybe a bit of bushing and then making a key for it??? Would call for more precision than I could manage with the tools I have, in either country.

Is it a Bird, is it a Plane?? No it is Superbodger!!!!!!
(Who uses spots of weld to secure the pulley to the shaft!!)
ROFL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I never understood the clamp fit on a rotation thing. taper and keyed, or at least keyed.

I guess its a cost thing designed by young engingeers.

But that leaves us poor souls popping our eyes out (or worse) to do things up tight, then another 90degress:rolleyes:.
