Listers.....I need some help.

I'm trying to reassemble my '60 TR3A, which has been a large pile of parts 
for a long time.  Just before I disassembled it (a very LONG time ago) I 
remember discovering that the lug bolts on the L/H front wheel were a 
different thread from those on the R/H side.  The reason for this is a 
mystery, but now I'm trying to straighten out the problem since I plan to 
eventually use Minilite wheels (or a reasonable facsimile), and I want the 
matching lug nuts to fit.

Trouble is I don't know which thread size is correct, so I don't know which 
ones to replace.  Therefore I'm bugging the list again....does anybody know?

Also, does anyone know the minimum thickness for a TR3A brake rotor...how 
thin can you machine it?

Please contact me via my home email  banjonut@verizon.net  since I get the 
digest form of the list.

Thanks in advance,
