[Fot] Followup to TR7 wheel stud question

[Mark York]

I bought some lug nuts from Summit for the Panasports on my TR3 (with the
alloy front hub conversion). The part number was GOR-90087 and the cost was
$4.39 for a pack of 4, these are open end and are available in different
sizes.

Interestingly, some are not just caps!  I have a set of 7/16-20 lugnuts 
(barrel type) for my American Racing 4-spokes that were closed-ended... we 
tried "popping the cap off" to no avail, so we had to chuck them on the 
lathe and turn them down to expose the threads (so that we could use them 
on the 3" studs we'd installed).

So if you can't knock the cap off easily, next stop is the machine shop.
