Hi all.

New to the scene, So don't know much about the car yet.
I am trying to find out the thread of the wheel nut and and front wheel bearing nut. The spindle runs set 12 and set 13 bearings (timken reference).

The outer diameter of the thread on the hub is 59mm
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

What make of Cobra replica do you have?
Not sure, post pictures of the car here

Which suspension set up do you have?
Again, not sure, post pictures of the suspension here

Not all are the same.

Thanks,

I am aware that the post had to be approved by a moderator as it is clearly stated during the post creation, but to me having to wait 5 days with no news .... I started wondering if something was amiss......

The only info i have is that it was built in 80s and it has a Shelby cobra chassis plate FFR5043K. I wish it were my car...its for a client, and i'm redesigning the front suspension layout. I've basically finished, just trying to find the correct threads without machining some trial threaded bosses ( i have to keep the original wheel nut).

Thanks

Interesting chassis number for a car built in the 80's.
