Hello,

 

I'm starting to do some work on my newly purchased 1998 MPI and so far this forum have been a massive help, but I cannot find one answer. I want to buy set of new wheel nuts for Ultralite wheels in black, but I have no clue which size to buy 1.5MM or 1.25MM? It seems like 1.5MM should be the one, but I prefer to double check.

 

Does anyone know this?

Thank you in advance,

 

Bart

Nope. Neither.

3/8 x 24 UNF

 

there is very little that is metric on the Minis 

 

and the taper on those looks wrong and I would not fit Alloy nuts to a Mini.

Ultralite offer a 3/8" UNF, 60 degree chamfer domed wheel nut specifically for the classic Mini.

Thank you so much. It is a bit weird that they offer black wheels for mini in a couple of versions, but no black nuts. I appreciate the quick replies!
