I know the tire size is different on the 740 Wagon & the 244....(15" to 14")

The lug pattern is the same on both the 244 & the 740...........

Are the pitch and thread on both vehicles the same ?

I remember reading a post somewhere about the lug nuts not being the same betweent the two..
Can you guys confirm this please - before I try to swap the Draco wheels from the 740 to the 244 ?

Thanks in advance,

Cousin John

I hope I caught you before you damaged the threads on your studs -- no, the threads on the lugs are not compatible.

The wheels are compatible, though. I'm personally using Hydra wheels (6.5x16x25mm) on my 240. But I use 240-size lug nuts. The bevel in the wheels match the lug nuts of both cars, so there's no concern in that respect. Just keep the lug nuts matched to their original cars and you'll be fine.

If you wish to run them without covers regular
length chrome lug nuts will work.
Or the chrome and black 700 center covers might
work but I have not tried it to see if they fit.

Thanks you guys, yeah, you caught me in time. I have made a habit out of checking and double checking before I go into unfamiliar territory - I can be a PITA sometimes because I ask so any questions BEFORE I do it. Wish I took that approach the other day when the 244 took an autopilot cruise !

On a lighter not, today I managed to revive a vintage 1972 Fender Bassman 100W Pure Tube hand wired bass amplifier.l This thing sounds sweeeeeeettt. I picked up in a trade for a non working 12 year old Simplicity 18 HP Lawn Tractor with a 3 blade 42" Mower deck (I got it for doing about 1 hours worth of computer installation at a guys house and one hours' worth of training)..

- I spent 11.00 for a couple of ceramic resistors that were smoked and fired it up, (2 - 470 Ohm, 1 Watt 5% and 2 - 100 Ohm 1/2 Watt 10% resoldered them in and the damn thing came back to life first try. Now, Needless to say the wife is locked in our bedroom with the iPod on reading books that don't even have any pictures (what a loser she is eh ?).......If I had ANY balls, I would go up there and give her one of those gouges on the side of her head with the electric hair trimmers like they do on that show Jackass.....On second thought, nah, I might damage the trimmers.

This AMP is a great tool to find the loose plaster joints in the walls and ceiling..

Thanks again you guys, I guess I need to get some long stem chrome lugs to go with the alloy Dracos.
