Larry,
Thanks for the info. Yeah, my ASCII art is lacking, and actually, my
nuts are as you descrbe, made for the flat washers, and squared off at
the shank to hex interface (now there's something you can talk to the
BMW crowd about... "squared shank to hex interface washers!"). Anyway,
The only other thing that I might do is to get the 7/16" wheel studs
from a TR6, I believe, and buy the larger mag nuts, that ARE available.
"You buy 16 studs, whatta ya get, another day older and deeper in
debt..." My apologys to Tenessee Ernie Ford :?)
Peter
(can you tell it's late???)
