Sorry for hassling, but did you find anything? Have I missed a message and need to check junk as I get a lot. If you're still working through I apologise. I fact I feel mean as though I am chasing, but just curious if I have missed something. 

Thanks again. Leel

Hi

  My 62  ( with the locking hubs pics 013 and 004) has the correct double ended nuts and yes as Diffwhine says you will always have folks telling you your wheel nuts are on backwards (or not on far enough). The nut is slightly longer than the stud.

 On my 69 the nut is only tapered on one end (like most other vehicles) and slightly shorter than the stud so some thread sticks out past the nut.

A bit confused.

The thread title is Truck History, but the post seems more like a For Sale ad.

Could you clarify please?

It is going to be no surprise if a Dutch-owned Land Rover is painted Orange.  

The double ended nut would be more period correct, but you have a number of options. The double ended nut is longer than the stud, so always raises queries from people who aren't aware of it (including MOT testers). You can have a single sided nut of the same size, or you can go to the later format which gives you a larger wheel nut but same thread. Less risk of pull through on an old knackered rim.
The following table might help:

Clive (fv1620), just wondering if you got any type of reason from the EMLRA chaps this weekend as to why they chose to shut the forum. 

Hello
As a newbie to this, I've just bought a series 2a who's build date always 4/12/61 (88"wb).
I have a number of jobs to do to get it running on the road but it starts and has had a galvanised chassis already.
Of concern to me firstly though is one of the wheel studs is too short and I have two different types of nuts (domed both sides on three wheels and flat one side and domed on the other on one wheel.  I don't know which is original?
Can any help me understand what's right?
Thanks

Attaching an image to your forum post couldn't be easier.

You then "drag" your image into the box. The image can be anywhere on your computer/desktop.
Large camera images are not ideal, but a thumbnail the image will be displayed in your forum post.
On clicking on the image it will enlarge to the full size.

Looks like signwriting was red

That's a great pic, and yes a 109 as the bulkhead is flat, not angled.

Colours were dark green and grey, with signwriting in cream I think.
