Default D1 Spec Racing Nuts

Hi there again,

Need some advice on fitting some D1 Spec aluminium racing nuts, just bought some but I need to know how much they can take when doing them up?

I'm paranoid about cracking them or ripping the thread out of em...

Anyone fitted any of these before as the entire packaging and instructions are in Japanese???

I honestly don't know, but for some strange reason I feel I ought to have some!
We've found in the past, if you read the instructions closely enough, your eyes go funny, and that seems to help!

Plus, of course, the numericals tend to be like ours, so look out for a number, followed by NM.
