Marina wheel studs are 3/8" UNF, Triumph Spitfire & early Dolomite are also 3/8" UNF, so their wheel nuts will fit your Marina. The thing to be aware of is whether the shape of the wheel nut matches the shape of you wheel. Some nuts have different facings.

Hi Balmy,
I bought some Cosmic branded wheel nuts for my TC several years ago, a good motor factors will know if the company still exists. If not, check out MG Midget ones.

i get my nuts from a garage locally who restore mg's. They are about £1 per nut. The place is called Mcfadden Classic Sports Cars and the number is 01698 254141. Just ask for Paul and he'll sort you out.
