The Brits can't even use the same length studs in the top of the swivel housing or same length bolts in the water pump.

If I read the Parts Book correctly - no, a different sized wheel brace was supplied to fit the nuts of the divided rim wheels. Part No 237421. The wheel nut wheel brace for the 80" is Part No 274433.

It is likely that this was deliberate to try and ensure that the user thinks before undoing the split rim bolts. There is a long history of injuries and fatalities from people undoing split rim bolts without ensuring the tyre is completely deflated first.

That looks like BSF - which will not be easy to come by!
