Wheel nut (bolt) taper angles

Post by RobThomas »

Might be tough one.

What is the taper angle on MM and on later Minor wheels? I know about the Mini/early Spridget nuts being a rounded taper but wonder if anyone knows the angles or has a decent set of nuts and bolts to measure? Mike...I seem to recall you saying about getting some made at one point? Might be 60 degrees, as per MGA and MGB.

Thanks :D
