There were two different part numbers for Kent wheel nuts used on Series 2 cars, possibly associated with differences in the finish so it would pay to check all nuts look the same when buying sets. The later number carried through to Series 3 cars. The part numbers for pepper pots are different but again, that may be down to finishes rather than fitments. Mike.

Be careful to get the correct nuts for the wheels. Jaguar used different types on nuts on some of the alloy wheels. Some of them used a tapered fitment to locate in a matching tapered shoulder on the wheelnut recess of the wheel. It's important that you don't use these type of nuts if the Kent uses a flat, rather than tapered, recess, and vice versa.

Good luck
