Rusty bolts!
Can anyone tell me if there is anywhere I can buy a set of stainless or plated wheel bolts to fit my 75 Tourer as the original fitment ones apart from the security bolts have all gone rusty and look a mess!
If I can't buy what I want I may buy a new set of original bolts then get them galvanized Last edited by sylvester; 6th November 2006 at 19:38.. Reason: Updat of message following replies |

@ Sylvester Sorry can't help personally with your request, a lot of us have installed plastic chrome wheel nut covers, generally available on ebay. I have these and the Nitrous gear lockers, they do look a treat. If you want to replace your bolts anyway, they are available from Rimmers or Xpart, about 87p each.

oops. Sorry for the confusion
I'd be tempted to try a BMW dealer as the 75/ZT share the same BMW fitment. hth Mike

Chrome wheel bolts
Quote:
For the other 16 bolts you will need, the simplest and probably cheapest way is with the original bolts (cleaned up on grindstone wire wheel is fine) and a set of plastic, chromed bolt caps. I put some copper grease inside when fitting. Bought mine from [email protected] £29.50 per set of 20 Beware of chromed bolts and get an assurance that they are not brittle. The chroming does that and a special process is required to de-brittle them. To chrome and de-brittle I was quoted about £4 per bolt by a firm in Letchworth. Don't forget with chromed bolts you can easily damage the chrome with a normal socket but nylon lined ones are supposed to be available. 17mm. Vauxhall have plastic caps in aluminium & black finish (for SRi I think)

Door Finishers
We'll there you go Ken. Life gets more difficult all the time. I'm waiting for MGM to come up with those door finishers he keeps promising members on his list.
Actually it's inconvinient having to park the car each time with the passenger side against a wall.

Oops silly me so the Nitrous kits are only locking bolts? I thought they were full sets and have been telling people on XPF the same thing
Doh! I would be inclined to go for Chrome caps then on the rest once fitted are they on tight? What do you use to get them off? Do they come with a little removal tool or anything? |
