RH thread turns CW to tighten, the pulley turns CW so should drag the nut in, should it be able to rotate about the spindle at all. Also had a damn great spring washer underneath the nut.

As for knock ons, how would it be possible to fit them on the wrong side? They can't all be the same hand shirley...

It depends on which way you are looking at the pulley when you describe its turning direction. Looking face on to the pulley and the nut, you want the nut turning in the opposite direction to the pulley as you are looking at it to ensure it tightens rather than loosens.

As for the knock ons.........!!!

There are two different threads on each of the four stub axles, adaptors, or whatever you want to call them. Two left-hand threaded ones and two right-hand threaded ones.

So you put the normal right-hand threaded ones on the near side, and the left-hand threaded ones on the off side.
So as the car goes down the road, the nearside wheels turn anticlockwise and the offsides do the opposite.
The plonker who built the car had put the splined adaptors on the wrong sides!!

I know a lot about this as I replaced normal wheels with 4 nuts .with adaptors for splined wire wheels on my Marlin.
I'm sadly on the wrong pooter to be able to put up a pic.

Accoding to t'news, they are about to open a new one somewhere, or start building it, or summat.

Need to research it a bit more.

We are lucky in that Bournemouth Water (as was, now bought up) keeps finding new ways to store water so we don't get hoespipe bans and are encouraged to use as much as we like, (to line their pockets of course, and incidentally Wessex who do our sewage.)
