Hi All,

This is my first post though I have been a member for a while. I have a Jap import N/A with Bailidor Esporte (or vice versa) 18 inch alloys. When having to have 2 tyres replaced recently, the tyre place had great difficulty taking the nuts off due to the fact that the nuts were splitting. The nuts are like long tubes with a threaded part at one end, and they then turn tubular with a hexagon allan key type hole in the end that you can see from the outside. I think that they had 12 by 1.5 written on the side.

Anyway, I need a complete set of new ones. Any idea where I might get them. Halfords is no use.

I live in Farnborough, Hants.

Thanks

Thanks, Supra-Man. Phoned up Envy and got a set in the post the next day, which fit OK. Just ordered the rest today. Having to take one of the old ones out by

hammering hex head of a cold chisel into nut and using big stilsons

as current nut has stretched and is splitting.
