Of the teams running centerlocking wheels, how much torque are you tightening the wheel nuts with? Also, what is the thickness of your spindle and what thread and pitch are you using?

Thanks

I've ran other cars with center locks, no pin but they were nylock nuts, I'd guess 7/8" or 1" thread (prolly 20mm, or something, in actuality), and we only ran 'em to 100 ft-lb or so, NEVER a problem. (Formula Mazdas, to be exact)

I've used 9/16" studs and 120ft*lb torque on the rear wheels.
