Title: spacer thread type
Post by: just-boot-it on March 16, 2014, 08:48:14 PM

Fitted my spacers to the xj today and noticed that the spacer to wheel threads are fine but my wheelnuts are course. The seller is telling me that he had no problems with them. I take it they must have been bought from the US?

UNF or UNC should be readily available over your way...but you cant mix the two! He obviously had matching nuts.  :icon_winkle:

They could be metric.

They could be...but you don't tend to see a coarse or fine version very often.

All I know is that it will cost me more money  :banghead:

Relax mate...not going to be an arm and a leg. Whatever the solution, none of the fix is rare, or expensive!
