Fred ,
I believe that "lug nuts" are known as "wheel nuts" on this side of
the Atlantic .If this is correct then have a look at page 40 of
"Practical hints for the maintenance of the Triumph TR3" ...the
original handbook . It states....wheel nuts can be periodically
checked by the owner himself and occasionally removed , oiled
and refitted .No torque value is given .
cheers
Mike
