They used to be based in an industrial area in the foothills of the Penrith area. I bought a complete set of wheel nuts for contessa's over the counter there but it is now maybe ten years ago.

I would try Mini king as well as a long shot. Keep trying as I will need a set as well for a project I am doing. I would (selfishly) rather a Sydney based person did the leg work.

You could try Mini and Moke at Brookvale or Minisport in SA, who I got my last set from.
The chrome is pretty cr*p these days, but at least the thread is not stripped. :wink:

Or, you could do what one member here did, buy a bit of 304 or 316 S/S hex bar and have a machine shop make you a set.
At least the chrome won't flake off... :P
