A friend of mine says they look like 7/8" British Fine thread, is this true?
I'm going to need ten of each.

I really want to get this one rolling...

thanks

.... that certain employees of the Big three were making some on the factory CNC.....apparently in there spare time..... the big job is writing the program.... then you just feed the machine with free raw stock......

I got 8 of them..... and they are not cheap....and they are almost too beautiful to install on a CMP..... and have asked for 100s more on behalf of all of you.... If they become available I will let you know..... or if you see GM going broke you will know why.....

I am thinking of welding mine on so they can't be stolen....hihihi

Bottom line ....yes they can be made......

You can torture me .... but I can't say anymore....

So! I had better send this to Presedent O!! NOW we know the truth!

I think the Champion brand is JAPANESE. Many CMP (blitz) nuts and studs were made in Japan to supply the local market after supples of war surplus had dried up. Also, the DKK brand is JAPANESE. Does this qualify for NOS???

I think there would be a greater demand for the nuts than the studs..... probably 5 or 6 to one...... almost every wheel I have could use 2 or 3 new 7/8 nuts.... one rim in 4 might need a stud replaced

Personally if I could get my hands on a full set of nuts.....40.... I would be set for life........price per unit becomes the big factor....

Howard....consider the work done "under the table" as part of the Billion $$ financial stimulus package...... if they can help the Banks they sure can help us poor CMP collectors....

Lendlease....... personnaly I don't care if they are made in Russia with left over steel from radioactive submarines...as long as quality is good and they fit .....glowing in the dark is a bonus.

Bob... we could do a deal for some nuts
first I had better talk to my manager Keefy to see if the nuts are aloud to leave the country

Each wheel has 2 starter threads that are slightly longer than the other six (in both styles, Countersunk head and Mushroom). The long studs are 2 3/16" and the short are 1 7/8".

...you are a sick puppy.....

Where did you found those....? NOS....

How many tons of them do you have..... hahaha .. is that your retirement plan?

Now you are going to tell us the boxes are marked Oshawa, Ontario.

Surprised Dirk does not have them in barrels..... he did chime in at one point indicating he had the smaller drum bolts and studs I beleive....

On the studs..... the mushroom caps are the most commonly seen on 16 inch rims. Interesting that we found some on 20 inch rims.

In your picture the recessed heads seem to be relieved on each side like plow bolts..... or was that done for welding penetration....?

BooBee..... envious.

Always something else to discover.

.............It sounds like you did......Nice nuts.
