Just wanting to confirm the correct wheel nuts for the Australian Clubman GT.
At the moment I have two different wheel nuts.
Which would be correct in the below photo - Thanks

This might help. Would be a good idea to measure the taper to confirm they are 60 degrees.

There's an extract from the AHA8785 engineering drawing showing the precise measurements in Tony Cripps Mini Clubman and GT engineering series book.

The one on the right looks like it would be a universal aftermarket part due to the number 5 on it.

They appear to be the same as the ones used on Moke Californians with sunraysia wheels, but there are some interesting comments on the MokeWerx website about reproductions and later UK wheel nuts that apparently have the same 60° angle but different seat areas.

Now I'm wondering about the set of supposedly NOS sunraysia ones I have...
