Post subject:  Going Nuts!
Anyone got a spare wheel nut(s) for a '94 Z28 with the stock wheels?
I had the front wheels balanced on tuesday and it appears that at some point some numpty has chissled off the puzzle nut instead of using the adapter :x . They managed to free it eventually and balance the wheel but the nut's no good now...
So, i got myself a nice new set from Rock Auto which arrived today and it seems i've managed to order the wrong one's :oops: :clap: :? :lol: Thing is, it said 'STD Mag' and so i assumed they would be the right ones for a Z28 with standard mag wheels. Not that simple! I also had to cut open the packaging to fit them on the car so i don't know if they'd accept a return. Plus the postage was £17! :shock:
So, if anyone has a nut spare (It's the one with the tapered seat) or you're interested in a set of brand new puzzle nuts (Sleeve type, make me an offer!) please let me know...

No, i've still got a nut missing :(
I don't know if '89 nuts will fit? I know the pcd is different but as for the threads and the taper... Luke is going to check to see if he has one but it'll be off a '98 so i'm not sure if that'll fit my alloys either. I found a place in the States where i can purchase single ones but i haven't got a postage quote back from them yet.
Here's what my nuts look like :shock:

I think i should see a Doctor.

Thanks Starsky, i'll give them a ring in the morning.

Edit: Luke thinks he's got the right one, so fingers crossed :thumbup:

I haven't checked on the 89 nuts yet. Interesting to hear about the Mondeo nuts though.
If anyone's interested in the puzzle nuts make me an offer. They stand me at about £33 and i've no use for them!
