Ta dum.<br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">When I switched to wire wheels, I simply bolted on the spline adapters, then took my bench grinder (didn't have the proper tool) and ground the lugs down to the proper size. Then I backed off the lug nuts to set the thread spacing right so that the nuts would go on again easy every time I took the hubs apart for bearings and brakes. Has worked great for over a dozen years. If I ever wanted to (won't) switch back, I'd worry about swapping lugs then.<br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I do believe, though, that there are spacers available. Not sure what that does to tire fit within the fender well, tho.<br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Terry Smith, '59 TR3A TS 58667<br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">New Hampshire<br></p><blockquote type="cite">On November 13, 2017 at 1:10 PM Geo Hahn <ahwahneetr@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div class="ox-5952d3bbbf-gmail_extra"><div class="ox-5952d3bbbf-gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 13, 2017 at 10:58 AM, Hoyt Duff <<a href="mailto:hoytduff@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hoytduff@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><div class="ox-5952d3bbbf-gmail_quote"><br></div><blockquote>I haven't looked at the Triumph wheel lugs in years, but it can't be<br> difficult to replace them with the appropriate length studs...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The front ones should not be much trouble, but the rear ones are peened on the backside with little room to maneuver so may require separating the hub - and <em>that </em>is a PITA.</div><div><br></div><div>Geo </div></div></div><br>** triumphs@autox.team.net **<br><br>Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>Archive: http://www.team.net/archive<br>Forums: http://www.team.net/forums<br>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/terryrs@comcast.net<br></blockquote></body></html>
