Does anyone know of a supplier of Contessa wheel nuts? The type with the hex head, then taper, then cylindrical part that goes into the rim itself. I think they should have washers too.


My in laws need a full set of new ones.

the mini shops usually stock them, cos there aren't any wheels that use the same nuts - they're expensive too

You can get them at Padstow but they will cost you $5 each , I just replace a few of my older ones. They included washers for no extra charge!

5 bux each! ouch!!

try mini spares at seven hills, really nice bloke and good prices

Try Doogie, he had several full sets last time i asked.

I just got 15 with the new wheels from DSMERF, so i need 1

A Bloody Mini

1970 Mini K, 1380cc, 1.75 HIF SU, 30 70 Cam, 2" Zorts
1969 Mini K, Stock Standard and Orginal. (Slow as Hell)

that's the response my in laws were getting. They could either have some made, or get their ones rechromed. Buying new would be so much easier.

I tried all the local tyre places (including bob's and beau's) and the local auto parts places and nobody had them so I had to pay the big money but how else are you going to hold you wheels on.....

If you do find them anywhere cheaper let us all know!

no prob, bob.

Give Heritage MG ago, they have them listed as part number HYL6604. There phone number is 02 96093988.
Cheers Pete

Kind of makes you proud to be an AUSSIE

I bought 2 sets last year, at Auto City Tyre & Wheel in Seven Hills. He had to get them in, should still be available if ROH are still in business making wheels...
Note the chrome on them is pretty thin, they rust easy.

Maybe I should make some decent ones- anybody got any hex 304 S/S bar cheap?

Anton, ring Jim Lofthouse at Auto City- 9624 7545 and ask him.
No they are not cheap, I think last set of 16 was $70 or so.
