I'm not having much luck tracking down a set of wheel nuts so i can put the contessas i bought from sg. Anyone know where i could get my hands on some?

My in laws bought a complete set of new ones from Heritage MG. They ship AUS wide. About $75 all up I think. Expensive, but worth it when you HAVE NONE!!

Bob Jane - Erina ordered mine in. Around $2 per nut.

Any tyre shop can order them in. Mine cost me $70 I think, 12 months ago.

Thats a very very good price, $32 for a set is brilliant. Mind ordering in some more as i bet they will be more at bob jane in sydney.

Cheers

I've tried Quickfit, Bob Jane and goodyear and they can't/don't want to get any. I got fobbed off to some bloke in vic, mr lug nut or some such?
All i got was that ROH don't sell them anymore. I told them i don't care who sells them i just want them.
The main reason i wanted new wheels is so i can get rid of these bent steelies which on the back if i didn't use a 1/4" spacer rubs on the shock and swing arm.

EDIT: all sorted now, i will collect from my dealer

What are the exact measurments of the contessa nuts? Coz Bob Jane wouldnt get me any either.

Not sure of the exact measurements, but I know Heritage MG stock them..

i was told by some of our local wheel joints that they are NLA and any that are out there are worth gold.

I second that. Someone was probably too lazy to even check, so they said "nup, can't git em no more"

If they are really NLA, could get someone to turn a bunch up from S/S hex bar. Then they won't rust like the flashchromed originals...

Tony at Minisport in SA is where I got my new set. I can't remember the price. I think it was something like $75 for 12 Contessa nuts and 4 security nuts.
