DB18 1950 Wheel Nut Size

Post by Hedgie »

Does any know the size of the Wheel Nuts on a 1950 Daimler DB18?

I am going to try to get the car pictured below onto a trailer and bring it back to my place. But first I need to get it rolling, so plan to jack it up remove the wheels, free up the wheel hubs and get the tyres holding air for long enough to winch it onto a trailer.

BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THE CORRECT SIZED SOCKET FOR THE WHEEL NUTS.

They’re 5/8” BSF (= 9/16” Whitworth.)
