Goodevenin'

I'm missing a wheel bolt on the rear drum, which one will I need? Looked at minispares and it says there's different ones for different sizes of wheels, does it make much difference? When I looked it seemed like they had a few but none for say a 10 inch and a 12 inch.

Here's a few that might be right...

And this seems to be for a sportpack wheel - http://www.minispare....aspx?pid=33477

Any of these right? Just need the one for a rear drum on a 1984 mayfair.

I'm hoping you mean wheel nuts as Minis don't have wheel bolts, or you could mean the studs? Which is it?

In either case it is essential to have the right parts for the installation. For the nuts you need some that have the correct shaped face to clamp against the wheel rim, for the studs you need some that are long enough to run from the flange through the drum, rim and nut leaving about 1 1/2 threads exposed on an open nut or filling a cosed nut as far as possible. The different types of nut aren't for different sizes of wheel, they are for different designs of wheel drilling.

I do mean studs! Forgot the right term... thought it sounded odd.

I think the ones that are on ATM are correct, so I guess I'l look at them and take the one that's best suited. I think the first one looks right.

Cheers Dan!

If the ones you have now are right, measure them. You measure these studs from the edge of the countersink to the end of the stud.
