I thought that I had a set of these in my boxes but can't seem to locate them. Anyone know the thread and hex sizes for the nyloc nuts used to secure the rear brake drums? The B/L number is BTB728. Thanks.

I've no idea what you are referring to. More description or a photo or parts catalogue diagram?

On wire wheeled MGBs, there are four nylock nuts that hold each of the brake drums to the studs sticking out of the wire wheel hubs and through the brake drums. The Moss number is 310-400.

Lug nuts are 1/2"-20. I assume that those bolts should be the same.

In any debate, the side which strays from civil discussion is usually the side that lacks confidence in its debate position or in the merit of their arguments. Making personal attacks on the opponents instead of staying on the subject is also a sign of weakness.

Anyone who feels compelled to respond in kind to any perceived slight is often suffering from narcissism.

Yep, locknuts ... Been there since the car was new back in 68. Putting on new drums and figured it was time to change the locknuts !

The very reason why I was looking for the size. Guess I'll have to take off a wheel and one of the locknuts to the hardware store.
