sure would be easier dont you think ? 
Does anyone have a pic and measurnments of a NOS one to see exactly what the measurments are ?, I bet if you do enough searching a person could find a replacment and save alot of hard work ??.......... maybe |
I've considered turning the appropriate studs from modern bolts (SAE so that the same set of wrenches fit everything on the vehicle) or using modern studs, if suitable exist, for the 20 inch wheels. You've probably seen and measured enough to know the studs are different on the 16 and 20 inch wheels. (not the threads, just the heads, different welding to the whhel half as well)
If you go to modern threads, consider doing enough so that the whole vehicle, or your whole collection, are the same so you don't have to remember which nut fits which wheel.
