  1. Anybody have a good source for 1/2 x 20 left hand thread shank style mag wheel nuts? My google skills are not great….

    in that bin I got rid of a few months ago.....sorry....

    I took the other approach, installed RH studs on the left side of the car.

  3. I’m always a day late Jim, story of my life. That’ll be the next step if I can’t find any. I’m really being lazy and trying not to have to pull the rear hub off.

    you really need to find some Mopar guy up there, who's been around a while, and has that bin with some left over lug nuts.

    I may have some stuffed into a can or box around here. Which mags do you need them for, and how deep does the shank need to be. How many are you looking for? Gene

    Gorilla brand on the net has ever you could ever imagine. You just need to figure them out.

    As stated, contact LugNutKing. Nice guy and can come up with just about anything. 909-376-8011
     
  13. I’ll measure the rims Gene, they are a set of Superior wire basket style wheels. I’m not sure how long or how short the shank needs to be, I have a lathe though I figured I could shorten them if necessary. I would need ten of them.
     
  14. I’ve had zero luck trying to search their site…I’m not fantastic with google however.

    thanks for all the suggestions

    These are the only 1/2" lefts I could find at Gorilla

    Bottom right, with an asterisk, in bulk

    There is another page showing taper style for new wheels that part of the shank goes into the wheel. Better for centering. I don’t like the new taper nut for aluminum wheels. Old guy I guess .. I like flat 1/4” thick washers.

    Sorry, but I looked through my lug nut stash, and I only see right hand thread mag lug nuts. I thought I had a pile of the left hand threads but must have gotten rid of them years ago. Gene
     
  18. Thanks a lot for checking Gene, I appreciate it.
