Perhaps related to this, screwfix do sell the nordlock-type washers that you get with sip rims. Search their site for Heico. Unfortunately no M7, as they could be good on endplates.

I use these on my own Sip rims and carry a split rim spare, so no need to carry any spare nuts as the kart nuts fit both.Timbo wrote:These are reccomended by Mr Corrado...

Yes, I still use the Nordlock washers.
It's also been mentioned about screwfix selling a version of Nordlock washers and from memory I think they're stainless. I'd be cautious about using those on an alloy wheel. I'm sure I've read somewhere [possibly on Nordlock's site] about not using a washer that's harder than the material it's used on.
Also be cautious with the Kart nuts as the Kart stores also list an M8 flanged nylock nut that looks like the K nut but it's just a normal nylock nut with a flange and is too big to fit the recess in the Sip rims. These ..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Go-Kart-20-x- ... 0121591203

I don't have SIP rims, I have AFR. I'd be interested if these Kart nuts would fit AFR ones?

Hi Paul, they're 8mm thread but have a small head that needs a 10mm socket, worth using a deep socket when used with Sip studs on a split rim spare. I can't see any reason why they wouldn't work on the AF rims as well as Sip.
