3 S2s at Bolton Castle in Wenslerydale with Great Whersnside in the background on a very soggy Sunday morning

My electric Up! Isn't exactly a heavyweight. It's done 14k and the rears are hardly worn, the fronts about 60% worn. They'll probably do another 3k. My L663 Defender has now done 25k and it needs 4 new shoes!

Put the wings on (not an easy job, having to cut them away to fit the power steering) It's starting to look like a Land Rover again

I was pondering this today, I'm sure the real green credentials of EVs are a little iffy anyway, but shredding potentially 50kg of rubber/silica/carbon black every couple of months surely can't add newness to the environment. (I concede there's potentially less brake pad wear though.)
 

Yup, screwed in and peened to secure. It's when the nuts are over tightened then when undone it winds out the stud thus wrecking the threads. That's when folks fit the press in spline studs.

The later M16 threads need a 27mm socket to fit the nuts.

My April 1967 IIA has the smaller BSF threads and single tapered nuts. Not sure what size they are across flats. Pretty sure the studs are screw in ones.

Which ones contain duff information? 602s?

Just to confuse matters, a couple of the above postings contain duff info.
Please disregard, or you'll be confused at the very least.

Wow - you chaps really know your stuff!  Feeling a little overwhelmed with this as a newbie (not that I'm complaining!). Thanks to everyone for your help.  I hope I get the hang of this - feel like the new boy at school! Oh well ... 😂
