Default Early Model A lug nuts

Good Evening Everyone,

On my early 1928 Tudor Sedan there are some strange lug nuts on the spare wheel carrier. It appears that the early cars used slightly smaller lug nuts. On my Tudor it has fitted the smaller lug nuts but the previous owner has fitted later larger lug nuts on the spare tyre carrier. This plays havoc if I need to change a tyre. I am told between 1926-27 and early 28 the lug nuts were 11/16” across the flats. It appears these are no longer available unless you want to buy a complete set at $158!!!!! Thats more than a heart by pass in France!!!!!

Does anyone have a couple of these early lug nut, plus a locking lug nut in their box of bit, that they would sell me please?

All the best from rural France,

Tony
