Is there any difference in thread between the wheel studs on my Rapier trailer and standard Landy Ones?

I have just bought a set of longer studs from Zeus engineering, so that I can fit later HD rims to the rapier trailer I tow.

The problem I have is that the original wheel nuts for the Rapier do not want to go on the new longer studs?.

Is there a different thread on the trailers in comparison to the rovers?

The reason I asked, is because they do go on for the first 3 threads, then "stiffen up".

It's wrong! Try fitting a unf nut onto a unc bolt

Same principal use initiative look at thread size/pitch compared to old one and nuts

Studs are as per landy fitment. and purchased as described, so not an issue there.

Once cleaned, threads on both the original and new studs looked identicle, as did the threads in the nuts when compared to the standard landy wheel nut for steel wheels.

I have just fitted them with standard nuts for now, and will get the local garage bods to check the threads for me later on when I have more time.

Thank you for your "constructive" reply's.

You should know this site is never "constructive"

If you have the original studs, lay one thread on top of your new ones and if they fit with no gaps they are the same ... If they don't, they ain't!

Simples!!

Try using a thread gauge, saves a lot of messing about

All sorted now.

I have fitted the new Zeus studs, and a set of new standard steel wheel nuts from a landy.

So my trailer now has White wolf rims fitted. not the best ones I have, but the only spare pair with decent tyres on at the mo.
