Nuts!!

[Drew196]

All bar three of my wheel nuts have started to rust!!
Anybody else had this problem?
It looks a total mess - surely they shouldn't be doing this after only three years?!!

 

[son of solo]

mine did this after 3 months...you can get plastic caps that slide over, we have white ones for M10s at work.

grease them - makes taking them off a lot easier and stops rusting.

Me too, theres nothing worse than rusty nuts !

 

[Cue]

lmao, sorry - but in the irishness of today that connotation has new meaning.... :lol: (tupw)

Yeh my nuts look used and abused too!! :lol:

I'm just going to paint mine grey to match the wheels, unless i have a better idea in the meantime. I doubt new ones come cheap??

Mine are also rusty. I will prob replace them in the future with some stainless ones.

Sadly my nuts rusted a long time ago and it's a constant battle trying to keep surrounding areas clean of nasty deposits from the aforementioned nuts. #-o

 

[hoolio]

Yep, my nuts could definitely do with a shine.

Nothing worse than seized nuts ! A mate of mine once got his nuts stuck, removing them involved the use of a big hammer, in an attempt to squeeze them into a smaller socket.

My nuts have turned a crap dark grey colour. Ive got some anti rust zink spray paint im going to spray them with.
Of course i will look stupid walking around with a Turini wheel stuck to my pants but it will serve as a good spare for the Trophy, :lol: .

As for nuts getting stuck, i know someone who once got his back wheels stuck in a small place, :lol: .

Sorry but ive had two bottles of wine, .

I've got nothing to add here but thought i'd post so you can't completly delete your post Scott :twisted:

Actually i think i lot of the trouble with rusty nuts is people being a little too free and easy with the wheel wash, nasty and corrosive stuff, mine are still pretty much as new.

You can never wash your nuts enough, trust me I'm a woman :|
Anyway I'm not sure I want to be amongst all this nut talk now !

lol, i woke up this morning and could remember writing something but couldnt remember what, #-o .
That 2 bottles wine turned into 2 bottles of wine and 4 cans, but rough!

Seriously though, just sprayed a bit of the anti rust spray i have and its only slightly lighter than the Turini, going to take the wheels off tomorrow to clean the arches, dampers and inside of the wheels so im going to clean and spray them then.

Note to self, DO NOT post when drunk, :lol: .

Ah, at least we'll be saved the talk about dodgy bushes then!

Too far....!

Too far....!

Something as funny as that can never be too far.

As for nuts, mine are still looking good, no hint of funny coloured bits that shouldn't be on them.
