Ph3 cyclones have flat bolts but a tapered shaft (Giggedy)
Guess it's so you didn't need to carry a separate set of bolts around in case you needed to use th spare wheel

Spare wheel would have the flat washers on it surely?
All cyclones take flat bolts by the way. If they look like they take tapered chances are someone's been using tapered bolts for so long it's indented! The tapered/flat style bolts with the 17mm head are a later design from 206/307 alloy wheels.
