3 Wrong Brake M8 Embase

€2.00

Tax included

TheM8 brake nut with base is the standard hardware piece used for tightening the rims on hub studs (front and rear). Equipped with a braking system (often by nylon ring or deformation) and a wide base, it ensures that your wheels remain perfectly integral with the chassis, even under the extreme side stresses and the vibrations of the track.

Sold by 3 nuts

Full description: why is this piece vital?

In karting, the wheel is subject to permanent shocks and twists. This nut is designed to answer it:

Self-braking system: Prevents any accidental loosening due to vibrations of the engine or repeated passages on the vibrators.
Integrated base: The wide collar (base) serves as a washer. It distributes the tightening force on a larger surface of the rim, thus avoiding to mark the aluminum or the magnesium of your wheels.
High resistance steel: Designed to withstand frequent montages and disassemblies without the threading elongation or the hex footprint breaks out.
Universal standard: Compatible with the majority of market hubs (OTK, CRG, Sodi, Tony Kart, etc.) using 8 mm studs.

? Michel's trick

"Listen to me well: the wheel nuts, it's your only life insurance on the track! If you lose one, you finish in the tires. My Pro Council: Never uses standard DIY nuts without brake, they will not hold 5 turns. And a Golden Rule: When the braking ring becomes too much 'soft' and you can screw the nut by hand to the end, it is dead. Trash! We do not play with safety for the price of a nut. Ah, and a small metal brush. Goujons from time to time, it has never hurt anyone!"

? TUTO: Mounting and tightening wheels

Approach: Present the rim on the hub and screw the 3 nuts by hand to avoid crossing the nets.
Star tightening: Use a 13 mm key and gradually tighten the three nuts one after the other so that the rim is flat flat on the hub.
Tightening torque: Do not tighten as a deaf! Farm tightening is enough. Too much tighten can stretch the stud or veiling the bearing plane of the rim.
Verification: Between each handle, go around the kart with your key to 13. It is the basic reflex of any good mechanic.
