![]() Can anyone tell me if there is anywhere I can buy a set of stainless or plated wheel bolts to fit my 75 Tourer as the original fitment ones apart from the security bolts have all gone rusty and look a mess!
If I can't buy what I want I may buy a new set of original bolts then get them galvanized Last edited by sylvester; 6th November 2006 at 19:38.. Reason: Updat of message following replies |

@ Sylvester Sorry can't help personally with your request, a lot of us have installed plastic chrome wheel nut covers, generally available on ebay. I have these and the Nitrous gear lockers, they do look a treat. If you want to replace your bolts anyway, they are available from Rimmers or Xpart, about 87p each. ![]() Last edited by GreyGhost; 6th November 2006 at 16:17.. |

For the other 16 bolts you will need, the simplest and probably cheapest way is with the original bolts (cleaned up on grindstone wire wheel is fine) and a set of plastic, chromed bolt caps. I put some copper grease inside when fitting. Bought mine from [email protected] £29.50 per set of 20 Beware of chromed bolts and get an assurance that they are not brittle. The chroming does that and a special process is required to de-brittle them. To chrome and de-brittle I was quoted about £4 per bolt by a firm in Letchworth. Don't forget with chromed bolts you can easily damage the chrome with a normal socket but nylon lined ones are supposed to be available. 17mm. Vauxhall have plastic caps in aluminium & black finish (for SRi I think)

![]() We'll there you go Ken. Life gets more difficult all the time. I'm waiting for MGM to come up with those door finishers he keeps promising members on his list.
![]() Actually it's inconvinient having to park the car each time with the passenger side against a wall. ![]()

![]() Oops silly me so the Nitrous kits are only locking bolts? I thought they were full sets and have been telling people on XPF the same thing
Doh! ![]() I would be inclined to go for Chrome caps then on the rest once fitted are they on tight? What do you use to get them off? Do they come with a little removal tool or anything? |
