I bough a set of Jensen alloys on ebay for £150, stripped them and repainted.
Hope to fit them for summer use but not sure that wheel nuts are same size.
Mechanic says i need special nuts for wheels (have Jensen ones that came with wheels)
Also not sure tyre size I need but would appreciate any ideas?

Mine is 1969 Coupe that I have just finished from ground up (though I did not remove
engine/gearbox or front/back screens)
Living in Ireland I cannot find anyone who will take on screen rubber replacement

Well done Gaz,nice to see a change from the same old rostyles.How about some pictures?
Here's a link to "Raceways" www.raceways.co.uk/Mag_Sleeve_wheel_nuts_and_washers_large_bore_flat_seating.htm
Give John a ring , he will help you out with steel "sleeve nuts" and belleville washers.
My Jensen wheels came with alloy nuts that were duly binned in favour of chromed steel. 215 70 15 are about the max for that width wheel.
Good luck
Steve
