Bu66ered Wheel Nuts? Here's an idea.

[Grizz1963]

Every now and then I see ideas that just blow my mind, they will not be for everyone, but I like them.

On Sunday, Andy who I bought the Dinitrol cavity wax from came in his International, and one of the things I saw were his wheel nuts.

Now as some of you may recall, I will be fitting some Rallye wheels and white walls later.

However, it would need 24 new chrome wheel nuts, as my wheels have been on and off many times before I bought the truck two years ago, and many since, so the nuts look like this......



This has to be one of the simplest, cheapest and most genius ways of dealing with old wheel nuts.

Cut down shotgun shells.

My truck will be wearing them, and I do not care if many people copy what I saw on Andy's truck, but I will be doing it too.

I already have an order in for a load from a friend who is a groundsman on a large estate.



Inspiration, sometimes need not come from your own mind.

Thanks Andy.

I like it. Grizz, you always come up with the neatest ideas. Did he have to heat the plastic to get it to conform to the nut?

Hi Bill,

I had a lot of flack on another forum where they say it's old school, not that it bothers me at all. My truck, my way.

Andy who had them on his International said he heated them up with a heat gun to soften and then slipped them on.

I look forward to trying them, even though they may well not suit my Rallyes with chrome trim.
