Subject: [Spridgets] Nuts for Wire Wheels Frogs.

Thought I should put this out to the readership just in case............

I have the adapter hubs to convert the back end of the Sprite from disc 
to wire wheels.  I am using the small ny-lock nuts (RCK103N - google it 
if you haven't seen these) and due to various issues have had the hubs 
off and on several times.  Now I remember reading that one should not 
re-use this type of nut but, well who really believes....  I now do, 
they came undone last week.  No damage, just a very loose wheel and 
hub.  Got it home, cleaned up the mess, and got it back together with my 
new spare set (I had 4 fortunately). If you are using this adapter, be 
advised.  If you are still using the large nuts that can damage the 
wheels, these are an excellent way to go - with the above caveat.

Drive Sprigetly!
Martyn
