Hi, I'm trying to figure out where I should be using square or Hex nuts on my 1909 Stanley. I guess it isn't a huge issue but it is bugging me! As far as i can make out, the nuts on the spring shackles should be square - some old ones I have are. Where I am not sure is nuts on the wheel hubs. I've seen some photos which appear to show square, others show hex, but I'm not sure what is original. Is there any general rule for which should be used where on various locations on the car, or the year of manufacture? Only a small issue but hope someone can shed some light on it.
Thanks
Jeff
