Gary, thanks to you and everyone else who replied! This was not =
available when I logged on yesterday. It is there now and is what I had =
expected to see. I am not a noob at this, lol=E2=80=A6 But it was =
frustrating when I could not get the =E2=80=9Cpost thread=E2=80=9D or =
similar button. Now I can and for no reason, lol, I have done nothing =
new. =20
I say that because I didn=E2=80=99t turn my PC off to reload the OS or =
anything else. Just is here today. And I had looked at just about every =
sub forum on the site. So maybe it loves me again..
=20
Mayf
And again, many thanks, all!=20

You know I have been a member of CAT continuously since 1974 and off and =
on between 1967 and 1974. Lotta years and subjects under the bridges.. I =
believe some of ya=E2=80=99ll are CAT members as well and I need some =
assistance with the forum on the CAT web site. I logged on using my =
official user name and pass word, updated just last year but I will be =
danged if I can where and how to post anything to any of the forum =
areas. Any help out there?
=20
This is just me thinking out loud now. Your, MMV, lol. And everything is =
subject to an 80 year old=E2=80=99s fogy memory. I still have my =
original steel wheels from when I purchased the car, admittedly used in =
Jan 1967 with 11K miles on it, and the wheels are what was on the car at =
that time. Oh< my Tiger is a MK I with last four numbers being 1136. =
So, I am guessing that they are OEM and specific to this car. They are =
of course the 13 inch, 4 lug wheels that use 7/16th inch studs and =
tapered shoulder nuts to keep them on the car. I had and had a notion =
that the wheels are NOT lug centric, but hub centric, to keeping them =
centered on the hubs. I say that because the aftermarket wheels i.e. LAT =
70 and others, use the hubs to center the wheels since the lugs are =
straight shanked nuts without taper. Hub centric is a n brainer. The =
wheel is made to fit the hub and the hub is a machined part made to =
assure that the wheel is centered. The tapered lugs have a couple of =
purposes I suppose, one is that the lug centers the wheel mounting hole =
on the studs and that the tapes is linger than a flat cut nut giving =
more gripping area and requiring more force to remove it due to metal to =
metal friction as the clamping force applied ty the torque wrench being =
used by the installer. Another think that comes to mind for me anyway, =
is that the studs and nuts are a bit finer thread that the regular =
coarse thread s and they are =E2=80=9Cfine threads=E2=80=9D. With a =
taper, a single turn of the nut to loosen, will move the nut off the =
wheel a distance of the sine of the taper angle times the thread pitch =
distance. And for sure no paint on the faying surfaces. The twist of =
the nut against the paint will most likely on the first torque down =
destroy that thin paint layer and it should be retorques a bit after it =
has run down the road. Tomorrow I will be removing the OEM beauty =
rings, hub caps, and wheels from my storage area and moving them to =
another storage location in my shop so I will have ample time to examine =
them since I have not looked at them since I put the LAT 70 ones on my =
car in 1968. Right now, I am thinking, and I may be wrong, but, the =
back side of my wheel are same color as the front side and not black or =
any other color. When I am done with moving parts around, I will post =
any new info I glean to help muddy the water some more.
=20
In any case, someone with an idea on how to post to the cat forums, =
lemme know=E2=80=A6
