Paul, I'd like a set or two for Patrols - especially for the old man who battles with the wheels occasionally.

I know that the thread on the Nissan studs is normally a little finer than lesser vehicles. What measurements do you need me to make ?

I've Googled. This indicates that the Patrol uses M12/1.25. I shall measure later. :)

Thanks Ian I must check up on that because some makes of vehicles change the thread sizes with different years. I'd be surprised if they use a 1.25 instead of the 1.5 that seems to be a standard, but you never know. The Disco 1 has the same OD of the nuts as the Disco 2 but with a M16x1.5 instead of the M14x1.5. Some of the Land Cruisers have M16x1.5 studs and others the M14x1.5 studs.

They definitely use a non-standard/finer thread, but I will measure it later. I have had a roughish day, and I am going to sooth my disturbed Karma with a beer shortly. :)

The first set of Locator Bolts for an Amarok were collected today. The other set of Locator Bullets for a Pajero are ready and packaged to be sent off to a member in the Eastern Cape on Monday.
Iain, if you can confirm that your Nissan has M12x1.25 threads on the studs I'll get the set made up for you early this week.
