For the alloys you need lugs with a different seat. 60 degree cone. You will
need 30mm long in the front. The rears studs are OK with the proper nuts.

Subject: What lugs do Carat Alloys need?

I'm replacing my steelies with a set of factory alloys from a Carat.  It
sure looks like I need a longer lug nut on the front (have not pulled rear
tire yet).

Can anyone shed light on what's needed to install these on a stock 85 Westy?

Also, I've got a bit of a thunk in the front suspension.  When I pulled the
wheel, I can definitely feel play in what I think is the front bushing of
the upper control arm (that wishbone-shaped piece that attaches around the
to of the shock).  For the record, I did have some of the front suspension
bushings replaced, but not this one.

I assume that means that this should be replaces ASAP.  Anyone care to
comment on the safety/PIA factor of this job?

Thanks in advance.

Peter
