You guys are confusing the hex measurement (3/4") with the thread diameter
(7/16"). Obviously, the thread measurement is the one that's relevant to
torque specifications.

Corvairs all had 7/16 wheel lugs, what're you referring to?

> 7/16" seems like awfully small lug nuts.  Wonder what car they're for? The
lugnuts on my tiny Honda 600 were bigger than that.  -ron 65,66
Incidentally, Honda specified a torque of around 55-60 pounds for those
smaller-than-Corvair-3/4" nuts.  -ron 65,66
