TR2/3/3A Wheels, tires, hubs and axles

Thanks, I looked at your write up in it's entirety. That is a really nice job both in the work you are doing and the write up itself.

You might want to take a look at my description of replacing the rear studs:

FWIW, I found that the driveshaft bolts would always work loose on my TR3A, even with new Nyloc nuts and bolts. Switching to 'Stover' nuts (which in effect use a metal locking area instead of nylon) solved the problem permanently.

I bought a whole box of them from MMC https://www.mcmaster.com/#
But they have turned out handy in other places too (like the rear shock mounting bolts), so I think it was a worthwhile investment.
MMC has apparently quit carrying the conical top nuts (which is what I got), but I believe they are still available from other fastener suppliers, like Fastenal & Grainger. Looks like Fastenal will even sell them by the piece (although I would still get the box)

I use the metal lock nuts often. Luckily we have a very good hardware store here in town.
