Wheel nut indicators

Has anyone got these things on their wheel nuts on the van or vehicle & have you ever noticed them out of position to indicate a nut is a bit loose.

I have never seen them on a car/caravan/motor home

If they make them small enough to use, can we all have a link please, skins

From observations they are available for Toyotas and the like with disk wheels but wether they are made for mags with tube nuts I am not sure.
They have been made for trucks for years.
They are part if mine spec safety regulations.

They came in a full set for four wheels with Nissan Patrol - very handy to check caravan wheels to ensure the nuts don't move. I tried to look them up on Net but could only find Mine Safety minecorp.com.au/products/wheel-nut-indicators-suit-steel-wheel/
The Nissan ones are a black cap that sits over nut with a arrow indicator.

I have had them fitted to the OKA for a few years.
Good insurance that you hope to never need.

Yep. 20km west of Poeppel's Corner in the Simpson. Not my intention to go OT, but the only decent pic of the indicators....

EDIT... I purchased 100 nut indicators (they were much cheaper that way) and then shared them with a friend.

Cheers,

Peter
