Ford Wheel Question

[dlovettuk]

Hello, I've been given a set of ford 14 inch alloys. The mounting holes have a small reducer (about 21mm across) fitting on them otherwise the holes are too big. Does anyone know if this is a standard part or where I can get them from as there are a few missing. I've attached a couple of pictures, one of the wheel and one of the piece I'm looking for.

Hi

 

What wheel nuts are you using?

 

The nuts for steel wheels are different from the nuts for alloy wheel which have a sort of cone shaped washer integral to the nut.

 

It may be that your bits are to allow the steel wheel nuts to hold an alloy wheel and getting the right nuts will solve the problem.

V important to check size of centre hole of wheell to match hub centre. Should be a good fit so that shear forces are not transmitted onto wheel studs.

Thanks for that - makes sense. It's got steel wheels on at the moment so I'm probably just using the wrong nuts.

rally design sell wheel nuts for ford ghia wheels with a 60 degree washer on it

The washer you've pictured is from a standard alloy wheel nut. Grab a set of the correct wheel-nuts for Sierra with alloys and you'll be fine - probably a good deal cheaper than fancy ones from "specialist" suppliers too.

 

Where-abouts are you? someone local may have some spare. I've got a bunch spare so could probably sort at least half a set for you.

I'm in Leeds. I've just ordered one set of sierra alloy locking nuts so I'm just on the look out for 12 normal ones.
