NOR SAE threads!
The metric nuts are close, but are a "B" fit. (and likely to strip with the smallest amount of torque)
Fortunately, I have the nuts to hold the wheels on, I just needed an outer nut to secure the fender struts.
(so they are finger tight only)
So, are SA threads Whitworth or what???
