Hi guys,
Does anyone here know if a knock-on wheel nut rotates with the wheel?
In other words, should it be glued to the wheel or to the axle?

Thanks, Dave

To the wheel not the axle.

Brings back memories of the days of driving my Triumph TR-3 and looking over the "cockpit" side at the knock-offs glittering in the
sun!

Truth. If they were attached to the wheel . . . what would happen either
when you went forward, or reversed?

Aren't these called "knock off's" rather than "knock on's"?
