I wanted to do something to increase a safety on roads... So I upgraded and remodeled a Loose Wheel Nut Indicator to everyone, who have a truck, delivery truck, trailer or big pickup.

I remodeled a great model by FullSendFab from Thingiverse, but I did a two upgrade. First I add a correcting line and second I did a two colours printing of this model. FullSendFab write this about his model: “Loose Wheel Nut Indicator allow you to easily spot a loose lug nut on a wheel with just a quick glance. This is great for trailers and trucks with steel rims where the lug nuts have a tendency to loosen up.”

I put here a picture from Wikimedia Commons to show, how Loose Wheel Nut Indicator work.

Information:

  • Fits on hex nuts.
  • Size standart 33mm.
  • Use customizer (or program) to make a version that fits Your truck.

WARNING!

  • Experimental design not actually tried in real life!
  • All the responsibility for Your truck not losing any wheels when losing this device rests solely on Your shoulders! 
  • I take NO responsibility!

I made this model, but not personally printed it, because I don't have an any truck.

And don't forget, safety first!

 

I hope You like it :-D
