Cannot find new wheel nuts, help

Postby JimmyJam » Sun Nov 29, 2009 12:38 pm

Can someone please help, I have decided to respray my hc rostyle wheels, and the studs, which I am kindly told are 4 inch and 101.6mm, are pretty nasty, and wanted the wheel to look as good as possible. I have also read that they are the same as Morris minor ones. I cannot for the life of me find anywhere that sells them new. Could somebody please suggest where I can get some, or at least give me some advice. I really appreciate any help. Please feel free to correct me on any tech specs I might have got wrong. Thank you all so much. Jimmy. Viva HC 1973.

are they the nuts or studs? if just the studs (threaded bit) they should be available at any decent motor factors / motor sports shops. The nuts on rostyles are probably harder to find - but as they are 7/16th thread - then they should be same as mini / escorts etc - .
try Adrian Miller (VIVA SPARES) he may have what u need - if not , will probably know where to get them.
cheers - jon

Hi John, thanks for your help, I found this website, but apart from the 7/16 that you kindly told me, and I am sure mine are nuts, I wouldnt know what to look for. Thanks for your help. Jimmy.
