kriss Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi All. I bought some MW Tech spacers but after having to remove them I found that the nuts provided are very soft and even when taking the greatest care, they started to round/peel. Can anyone suggest where I could get some hardened metal nuts from? They are tappered to fit flush with the spacer surface. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Just realised you probably mean stronger bolts, but I think the softer ones are fine as long as they are not tightened up like wheel nuts because the spacers are aluminium and the bolts dig in if they are over tightened, that's what my forum technical advisor told me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 No No, its the small tappered nuts that bolt the spacer to the OEM hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 No No, its the small tappered nuts that bolt the spacer to the OEM hub I think we are talking about the same thing.... the nuts that hold the spacers on, thats what I had a problem with too, they were tightened too much and had to be mangled to get them off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 YES!!! Mine are not that bad but could see them going int hat direction if they came on and off a few more times Any retailers able to supply anything a little stronger?
