Forgot to post - Just purchased my new 2013 GU in December last year - looked in the centre console - found a pack of twelve (12) only OEM wheel nut indicators.....WTF!!! Anyway, I had a giggle.
On another note - we have recently completed a wheel nut torque NDT test with mining off highway truck nut/cleat type rim set-up. ALWAYS ENSURE YOUR WHEEL NUTS ARE LUBRICATED - NEVER TORQUE UP WHEEL NUTS DRY. You lose a significant amount of clamping force tightening a dry wheel nut due to friction of the thread. If you use lubricated (oil is preferred / anitseize or equivalent will do) will ensure you achieve the required torque setting.
I hope to have the report on dry vs lubricated wheel nuts in next week or two.
Chris.
