    Abstract: A vehicle wheel nut indicator assembly includes a series of wheel nut indicators, each indicator having an annular body which can be fitted over a wheel nut so as to be incapable of rotating relative thereto. Each indicator also has a pair of connector arms extending in opposed directions from the annular body, and a series of connectors each operable to connect a connector arm of one indicator to a connector arm of an adjacent indicator. Indicators can be fitted over each retaining nut of a vehicle wheel and be connected by connectors. Each connector has a frangible portion which will break to disconnect associated connector arms if rotational force is applied thereto by an indicator moving angularly with a loosening nut and thereby provide a visual indication of the loosening of the nut.
