alloy wheels
I have chance to buy some alloys for my locost, but the holes for the wheel studs appear very large, should alloy wheels have a steel insert where the
stud comes through it looks as though they may have been removed for some reason?
thanks for any help
(they are from an escort mk2)

Ford laser alloys and Rs escort alloys need a special nut to fix them which includes a domed washer to fit the larger holes, they're about a quid
each(!) from the likes of rally design.
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Yep, Chris's correct, I got some 14" Escort RS alloys for mine and they need these special nuts
Robin Hood/Lolocost in Mansfield do stainless ones at £16 a set of 16. might be P&P on top though. You can ring 'em on 01623 420734

Jonti, and all - lolocost don't do those wheel nuts any more, I've just had my cheque returned, although I see they're still advertised on their
site. Rally Design have them, or something similar, its difficult to see the small print. I'm after some too for some pepperpots I just picked
up.
This is the page you want.

Purely by coincidence (honest officer !!) I have today aquired a set of five 14" 7 Spoke Ford RS Alloys in reasonable nick including nuts. Its a
long but honest story.
Anyway, if you're interested, you can have four of the wheels and the nuts for £45. I'll be posting them on the 'For Sale' Page later so if you
do want them, let me know quick.

Wheel nuts
Wheels 'n Things near Mansfield, probably Rainworth do wheelnut and studs for wheel swaps. Nephew got some for his Sierra to fit some Orion
alloys.
yours, Pete.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
