Lug nut sizes

[MickyD]

I have the a couple original lug nut bars and a couple new lug nut bars. Neither fit my 28 roadster lug nuts. I am thinking the original lug nuts were bigger than the ones on my model A.

Could you measure across the flats of your lug nuts and report back?

 

[Mike Peters]

What's a lug nut bar? A wrench?

Lug nut bar…. Original crank?
Original crank should fit original nuts

From memory, original size is 13/16" AF

Early 28's were smaller.Without going out and looking I think they were 11/16.They do use a different crank/wrench than the later ones.I have one in my early 28.

I hear there are some bad repo lug nuts out there. Apparently the chamber angle is a wrong match for the wheel holes??

Thanks Keith. I have 4 wrenches and they are all too big. I will try and sell
them. Two of them are new and two of them are older originals.
