Found an ebay store that sells the bullet lugs and say they will ship to the UK for $9

That beats the $80ish quote from Newstagia and the $99.00 quote from another Ebayer

Yes I did double check the quote, she couldn't belive the quotes I'd had.

Chris - Can we add another to the shipment Do you think ?

No, But to be honest nicking wheels (especially stock ones) is a little old hat, now, Mate.


FUBAR

Is there a way to get these nice chrome nuts oon & off without Damaging them? mine have rusted because they got damaged by the wrench.

Maybe....
remind me to email her tonight.

Damage will always be inevitable . . . Could try wrapping a little Insulation tape round them while installing / removing - that'll help.

Also avoid impact wrenches - they're bad from chrome nuts.

Not bad either, couple of small blemishes on two (might just need a polish) other than that they look ok.......wonder if they fit

Could be 'cos of the minimalistic packaging . . . . . Chuck 'em all in an envelope and apply tape vigorously.

Took 'em all plus the Gaskets (keep it all together).

Assuming we have the tools here to remove one of the lug nuts I'll check in a minute . . .

Roadkill

Yep, they fit.

(providing the other side is not reverse pattern - which I'm sure they stopped in 1969 . . . . )
