Jaguar typically used a closed nut with alloy wheels and open nut with steel wheels.

But, some of the 'closed' nuts were actually open nut with a bright stainless steel cap crimped on....and usually with a pre-installed washer.

What wheels are you using?

The thread size is ½-20 with the '20' being 20 threads per inch
