Tiger wheel nuts

Post by Adrian Harris »

Does anyone know the AF size for the wheel nuts and bolts on the Mid/Early Tiger ?

I've extrapolated from photos and come up with 38mm but if anyone has measured the Bovvy Tiger wheels and has the correct width I'd be most grateful for confirmation (or otherwise :oops: )

Hi Adrian,

the wheel bolts are M 18 and the nuts are SW 27. So Armortek been OK in the early kits with M 3 bolts. Only the correct size nuts with SW 4.5 mm are difficult to get for M 3. So I used M 2.3 with SW 4.5 nuts and drilled M 3 through. Looks perfect now. This mod with the nuts was done a few weeks ago and is not in my gallery jet. If you have problems to get M 2.3 nuts, let me know. I have some left.

Best regards Roland

Many thanks Roland :D :D

I'll see if I can find some M2.3 parts.

If not, I may use 7BA, which is 4.37mm across the faces.

Adrian.
