Escort MK2 Wheel Nuts

[Jangalicka]

I am after a set of correct type wheel nuts if anyone has a set they want to sell or know where I can purchase them from.

They are for the steel wheels on my MK2 Escort. 

I have a set of the black plastic wheel nut covers I wish to put on them as the wheel nuts on the car at the moment are not correct, they are more like something out of a Mad Max movie as per attached pictures. 

Cheers

Here's a photo of original Mk2 Escort wheel nuts for steel wheels. On the right is a nut with a black nut-cover and below that is a wheelnut in black but as these were OEM on the RS1800 you probably pay double RS-tax if you can find them.

The head of my wheel nuts are too big & long for my plastic caps to fit over them for some reason

Here are my steel’s. The black covers are rubber, not plastic. I think the nuts are 17mm.

Cheers, mine are definitely the plastic type.

Looks like I'll have to try & find a set of open ended nuts like yours 

[Dave Knight]

Let me know how you get on. 
 

These are not far from me and I could take one of mine in.

I'll have a look, much appreciated. 

Here's another picture of my nuts !

Mine are 19mm

Looking at the photos again I guess those plastic covers are for the smaller open-ended nuts.

Have a box of these here (all used) which you can have 16 of for postage, but I am in the Netherlands so P&P would be 15 Euros. Guess Darran at escort-tec will have these as well.

That is very much appreciated, thank you. 

I'll see if I can source some this end first now that i think i know what i need to save you going through that hassle though. 

Cheers

This looks like the OEM nut.

I think you might be right.

£2.40 + VAT per nut though !

[Dave Knight]

I can go to the engineering firm and compare if you like.

Really appreciate that offer but I couldn't let you go out of your way and do that. 

Many thanks though, cheers
