The threads at the same per side of the car, the names on your knock
offs are a bit redundant, i.e. LEFT NEAR SIDE means left side of the
car or near side to the curb (side closest to the curb) since they
drive on the left in England the left side of the car is closest to
the curb. Both Left side knock offs will be the same and both right
side knock offs will be the same.

My E-Type's rear driver side wire wheel came off
recently while I was driving, the knock off head
apparantly came undone. Fortunately I was
just starting from a stop light so there was very little
damage. Looking at the instruction on the knock off head
I noticed it said LEFT NEAR SIDE (LNS), apparantly meaning
one side of the car or the other. The Bentley manual
and Haynes have nothing to say about this and since it came off,
I assume that the thing must have been on the wrong side.
The other wheel says RIGHT OFF SIDE (ROS). Can someone please tell
me what is what? There are only above two instructions
in all four wheels. Two of them are LNS and two are ROS.
Shouldn't there also be LEFT OFF SIDE and RIGHT NEAR SIDE also?
Am I missing a couple of knock offs'.

Best Wishes
Zahid

ps: I'm real scared driving it now.
