I have a set of 60's alloy wheels,they have lost most of their steel lug inserts. Can anyone point me to a supplier? I found one on the web and booked marked it, now the link doesn't work. Can't find it again.
Thanks, I appreciate the link. They seem a little big, the wheels I have are for a 60's Mini Cooper. They are probably an English size. Fortunately the inserts in the link are oversize, about .0120 in depth (wheel would not contact the brake drum), not smaller. I may be able to spin them in my lathe and get a size I need. Thanks again.
Here's some for Minilite wheels that may work? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Set-16-Kn...Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item1e6d1f9337
Thank you. Fortunately, my calipers can read out in mm. Making the conversion from mm to inches, they are much closer to what I need. 20 Pounds is $2 a piece, not sure what it costs to cross the pond. It is not that I am "cheap", but I did pull my kids teeth out to get money from the Tooth Fairy.
Interesting, I'll have to "Sign up" to get prices. They had something else I need. That is the "offsets" to change the bolt pattern on Keystone and ET wheels. I have a set of Western wheels which use the same system, wonder if they are the same. I guess I'll have post another question "there's nothing the HAMB don't know".
A lot of factory wheels use those inserts. They have to be knocked out when you s**** wheels. I might just have a look at the local junk yard. Either on the s**** wheel pile or wheels on cars. Just knock them out. The guy at my local pic-a-part would prob just p*** them by and not even charge me for them if I bought some other stuff.
