ford sierra wheel nuts for alloys
matt_gsxr - 8/2/09 at 09:34 PM

hi there,

I just picked up a set of 14inch pepperpot alloys to get through SVA. My other wheels were too wide.

Is there anyone local (Oxfordshire/Berkshire) who has some spare wheel nuts? my local breakers has closed (health and safety I'd hope) and I am loathed to spend £15 on new ones.

I'd prefer to collect, but can pay postage if anyone further afield can help.


Thanks,


Matt

Haven't got any spare nuts, but have you tried the breakers Haynes at East Challow? Flat, no cars stacked on one another, generally a hundred or so cars in there....

thanks I will give them a go.

I used to go to the one near Wallingford (by Foxes Diner). The guy sometimes used to wander around with an axe, which used to make me wonder.

It wasn't very nice, but I was familiar with it!

Seems to be boarded up now.

Maybe wait until the weekend as its a bit snowy at the moment.

You could probably save even more money on this critical component by only sticking two on each wheels. Thus only requiring half the number
You can get an idea what these items do link
