Re: Red Paint and wheel Nuts, Plugs ect
Quote:
The red wheel nuts are only on divided wheels, for the outer rim clamp nuts. This is a warning, in case some numpty undoes all the nuts to remove a wheel. The divided wheel was introduced in late 1930's and I think it was started then as the safety notice attached to the wheel rim refers if I am not mistaken. Richard |

I have photographs of Humber Armoured Cars in N W Europe with the clamping bolts painted red. As for the other items, I would imagine that it was introduced during the 1950's to give bored National Servicemen jobs to do. |
