Anyone know the what torque should be for Marina wheel nuts please? Can't find it in the Haynes manual and nothing online.. Also I've just fitted 10mm spacers and I think longer studs might be appropriate - what can I fit and where might I get them from?

Re: Wheel Nuts & Studs
Torque will vary between steel and alloy wheels?
Standard studs are 3/8" unf. If you have spacers I would suggest fitting 7/16" unf studs from a Dolomite sprint but your wheels must be suitable for the studs and larger nuts.MOC member since 05/97

Re: Wheel Nuts & Studs
It's for alloys. Are the Sprint studs longer and is it fairly straight forward to swap them? I suppose I could buy a stud & nut and see ifs okay with the wheels.Comment

Re: Wheel Nuts & Studs
Try www.mistertee.co.uk for studs and nuts, I've used him before and find him to have quite a selection.
My Marina handbook gives wheelnut torque at 52-57Nm (38-42LbFT) for the car and 61-65Nm (45-48Lbft) for the van. Also toe in if anyone needs it is parallel to 1/8"(3.2mm) 0 deg 30' toe in.
