I used Roger Furneaux's HUB NUTS and they work just fine!! However I made one mistake!! Roger will supply a ring to fit on the shaft for the oil seal to run on. Perfectly machined to fit the lip seal. You do have to glue this ring in place on the shaft with an epoxy adhesive. When you do be very careful to make sure that you use sufficient adhesive to seal the ring to the shaft, the slot's in the shaft give problems. I carelessly didn't fully seal them. Consequently I still had very slight but very noticeable seepage of oil between the ring and the shaft. Problem was how to seal this leak. I couldn't withdraw the ring,after all it was glued in place! I solved this by scouring the RS catalogue and found a 'runny' silicon sealer which sets very slowly and ran down the gaps. It worked fortunately. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all. Roger Muir Bromsgrove England

Roger Thanks for the interesting info. It seems that your nuts have met with general approval; I shall be in touch with you in the new year to obtain a pair as my nuts are rather old and battered now ! Regards Tony TC 9825

My nuts are old and battered too after 70 years, but I manage to get them into my TC and drive them around for a spin on nice days.
