John Hudson was reading his colleague's copy of Sprint (TVRCC monthly magazine) last year when he spotted our advert for stainless steel wheel nuts. John called me and asked whether we did one with a 1/2 inch UNF thread suitable for his Model A. Model A I enquired? I didn't know TVR had ever produced a Model A. John went on to explain that he had a 1929 Ford Model A that had incredibly rusty wheel nuts.

Since the end of last year John has been using our TVR Tuscan wheel nuts on his Model A but we've recently reversed engineered an original Model A wheel nut and produced our own nuts from 316 grade (marine) stainless steel.

Neville Jones helped us to modify the original Model A nut design so that our nuts locate properly on the wheel and do not protrude through, engaging on the hub, as often happens with the original nut design. Neville has since bought two sets of 23 Shinynuts for both of his Model As.
