Lug Nuts
Who sells correct fitting lug nuts or do I need to find a set of originals? I have a '29 Coupe.
Most re pops I see made today are loose fitting (slightly oversized) on the lug bolt which causes wear on either. The set I have now are like that. I have one or two originals that fit as designed but not a complete set. |

Re: Lug Nuts
I see a post about lug nuts once in awhile and it got me to wondering.
Do people ever check closed end lug nuts for bottoming out before they seat on the taper? I have also seen reproduction nuts that did not have the counterbore on the leading edge. |

Re: Lug Nuts
When I was running stock model A wheels I used to use the large pattern race nuts.
They will compensate for slightly oversize holes in the wheel and still center ok. |
