Hi all anyone know what torque ideally wheel spinners should be done up to , only ask as mine are all new , and I might make a tool that fits the spinners and my torque wrench . Rather than the inexact science of knocking them on and off .
If it makes a difference mine are 3 eared peg drive
Cheers for any ideas

Thanks .... I did a search honest , but nothing came up
. Well my spinners won't bottom out as they screw right through . Still tempted to lock wire them on

That seems at odds with the whole Rudge Whitworth design which says they cannot loosen of their own accord. As the design has been used on racing cars since 1913, including on the XK120C, C-Type, D-Type and E-Type (over 1,000 results) I would suggest you are being a tad pessimistic.
