TR6 uses 7/16-20 threads for the wheel studs.
Of course Triumph could never do the usual thing and have the nuts be
3/4"... no - they have to use 7/8 nuts. Why? Who knows, maybe to
accomodate those plastic rings to hold the center cap in place.
I always though it was funny to have to use a different size nut though.
