MONTEGO ALLOYS

[maestro dave]

Hi, could someone please tell me if montego alloys ie gsi, gti mg need special wheel nuts to fit maestros and if and where you can buy these nuts , and also do they need special size tyres like metros thanks.:confused:

All Montego and Maestro wheels are fully interchangeable, so no special adaptor required. Naturally you will need the right nuts as the nuts used to clamp-on steel wheels don't fit alloy wheels etc. Most Maestro and Montego alloys were 13", 14" and 15" so no special tyres needed.

Many thanks where can i buy alloy wheel nuts from?

I got some wheel nuts for my MG Montego alloys from my local scrap yard off a Rover 200, I think most of the Rover models use the same type of wheel nuts and at 50p each, can't complain.

Well sort of, special in the same way as R200 one are. They are just fine

[maestro dave]

Hi just bought a set of five latice montego wheels from the guy in lincs selling a job lot of montego parts they do need a good clean up which I will do over a period of weeks, he gave me 15 nuts he said came of a monty but they look like castle nuts if you know what I mean will try and show a picture very soon.:confused:

The correct nuts have a floating connical washer pressed onto them and the ones for the Xspokes have a crome trim over the hex of the nut

[maestro dave]

Hi , Russ without looking I think you are right on the hex of the nuts there is also a small hole not a cap , can you tell me where I can get one as I have said I was only given 15 thank you. :D

[Russ]

Hi Dave from what you have said they dont sound like the ones for alloys, The alloy ones are pretty esy to come by, any 90s r200 with alloys has the same nuts

[ATTACH]6170Thanks Russ will take a picture and try and upload it, computers are not my strong point :o

I seem to remember getting a set from these people several years ago. If the ones on this page are the same, they should fit.

The ones in the picture have lost the plated cap that fits over the hexagon. These caps can fall off if prone to abuse from tyre bay ratchet guns. The circular hole serves no functional purpose except perhaps as the tapping hole for the screw thread at the other end that goes onto the studs.

Thanks for info Simon , have you one spare? :)
