Rims
Hi Jordan
The pics are somewhat confusing . Looks like somebody has removed the original studs . Is there anything special about the rim in question ? Is it peculiar to the Otter ? If not I would not bother repairing it. Just use a standard CMP 15 cwt rim. One of my Morris CS8 trucks came with factory brass wheel nuts fitted, I was somewhat surprised to say the least , not the divided rim nuts that you are asking about but the actual wheel nuts that hold the rim to the hubs. I would not trust these brass nuts to hold the huge weight and revolving mass of the wheel and run flat tyre. Rory Ballard mentioned he has also seen brass wheel nuts on CS8 trucks. Maybe it is a high tensile type of brass ? But they do seem to be a soft brass alloy as I have dinged a few of the nuts while removing them.
