  • Prevost lug nut covers

    Posted by Greg on May 3, 2014 at 2:00 pm

    does anyone have a resource for buying lug nut covers, I think they are plastic chrome covers?

    Are the xl2 and h345 the same or are they different?

    Here’s a good starting point.

    First thing to know is what size nuts you have. Are they 1½” (stud piloted/ball & seat) or are they 33 mm?

    Call me at 800-496-6303 which is my work # or e-mail me and I can help you figure out what you need.

    I happen to carry these in my truck parts/ exhaust shop, but I will be more than happy to help you find what you

    need where ever you end up getting them. I get most of them from UnitedPacific Industries (uapac.com)

    .They have a catalog of all sorts of wheel products.

    I am not sure what size they are, I just assumed that they were all the same. I guess not. I will have to measure them.

    Greg, The 33mm have a compression washer under the nut and it is an all in one setup. The 1½” have an outer nut on an inner stud. Snap a picture of the wheel withat least one whatever nut cover you have already removed and post it.

    Somewhere around model year 2000 Prevost changed over to stud pilot, easy to tell, stud pilot has a washer made on the nut and is smaller, ball & seat does not it is tapered, hope this helps

    Greg and Peggy…

    You can get them from Prevost … I did buy some on Ebay I have the proper number for them at home and you can buy them from several places. they have a plastic or nylon insert that fits the nut exactly.

    How many do you need I think I had a few left over…

    Cheers, Diane

    Get them from Bill who owns the Chrome Depot and was gracious enough to provide the polishes that were included with the rally bags at the Tampa rally.

    He is one of us, is a great guy, and will do a good job.

    To identify what you have, look at the end of the studs on your coach. If the end of the threaded stud is square, you have 1 1/2″ lug nuts. If the end of the stud is round, and if it looks like you have a washer under the nut, you have the 33mm lug nuts.

    thanks Jon for the quick tip to determine what size the lug nuts are. I am now going to assume that these are the only 2 sizes.

    What determines which one Prevost uses?

    On earlier vintage coaches wheels were provided with 1 1/2 nuts and a separate inner stud/nut. I’m sure there is a better description but it escapes me. Later vintage coaches are provided with a single stud and use the 33MM nuts. I do not know when they made the change.

    Greg,

    If you’re coach has the 365 upgrade on the steering and or tag, they are the stud piloted 33mm. The drive axle on your coach will be 11/2 inch “Bud style” inner and outer. If you don’t have 365’s, they will all be the Bud type 1 1/2 “.
