Very happy now.
I got the 17mm hex conversion, 2 left hand (reverse) thread nylon nuts and new wheels and tyres. Wheel and tyres 26 pounds for all 4 brand new.

@Djph_RC
Nice one, where did you get parts from in the end & what are the wheel/tyres you have gone for?

 

[Djph_RC]

I got the hex kit from wheel spin.
Left hand thread nylon nuts from eBay and wheels and tyres from eBay too.

I have done this too some of my Savages but if you turn the nyloc nut around the end of it fits into the 17mm hex and give the hex alot more support

Word of warning about those wheels you have purchased. They are quite weak and snap the spokes. Have 3 or 4 sets myself as I think they look great and give the truck a very wide stance.
Have not broke any my self but sold a Savage last year with a set of Red candy apple chrome one on it. Guy loved the truck but was emailing me a month later asking where I got them as he broke one, not sure if he was bashing the truck or not,

 

[Djph_RC]

I’ll keep an eye on them.
I don’t expect much for the price but will be in on the fields

Making progress!
The 17mm hubs certainly open up future tire options.

You can also grind off the skirt (flange?) at the base of the nut to get it to fit inside the adapter too.


I purchased nuts without a skirt to avoid that situation and also mirror the arrangement on the right side.

The ones I ordered didn’t have the flange on

Sweet!
You know, I looked at your one pic over and over and it looked like it had some sort of a flange.

I also looked at one of my Savages (this one is all right-hand thread) and these nuts appeared "smaller" than what I saw in your pic, so I was still thinking flange.

After reading your response, I went and found one that had the 17mm upgrade with left-hand threads on the left like yours.
Amazing, looks just like your pic. It's funny how color affects perception. the black nut looks so much smaller.

Have your new glow plugs arrived?
If so, have they helped?

I think there is a slight reflection giving the appearance of a flange 😂
Yep new glow plugs have arrived and I have fitted one and it fires up a lot quicker now. ☺️
