Hi All
As I was having problems posting to MLU to day I've posted the first installment of How Close Can You Come To Loosing A Wheel with pictures at
http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.c...0a%20wheel.htm
I want to thank everyone who has made suggestions, I've followed up on all of your suggestions it turns out that these bloody KEEPERS, LOCKING WASHERS, TAB WASHERS etc are known by various names. Most of the fabricators listed on the web have a minimum parts order of 100 to 1000, slightly more than I need. Though I have found a local shop with a digital controlled plasma unit that looks like they can cut me a smaller number at a reasonable cost.
Now the other point of interest is that each of my three trucks uses a different size or method of locking the front wheel nut.
I'll keep you posted on my progress.
Cheers Phil
