To all
Thanks for all your help
I did find a company in England that can supply these special shouldered
lug nuts. The company name is Midland Wheel
MIDLAND WHEEL LTD
TEL: + 44 ( 0 ) 1926 817444
FAX + 44 ( 0 ) 1926 817784
I did contact Mid Atlantic Wheel(website shows availability), South Bend,
Indiana, very negative guy and all he wanted to do was sell me a set of
panasports.
They are quite pricey at 3 british pounds each.
Many of you have tried to help but it appears the mag nuts available here, sold
through auto parts and companies like Summit, have the wrong diameter shoulder.
My wheels require a .610" shoulder for a 5/8" hole and whats available is at
.650".
Also there does not appear to be a sales distributor here in the States.
If there is anyone out there with some spares please let me know. I'm still
looking for them in the US at a more reasonable price.
Thanks Again
Glenn
