Jangalicka Posted Friday at 08:04 Report Posted Friday at 08:04 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
Miniliteman Posted Friday at 12:34 Report Posted Friday at 12:34 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.
Jangalicka Posted Friday at 15:04 Author Report Posted Friday at 15:04 The head of my wheel nuts are too big & long for my plastic caps to fit over them for some reason
Dave Knight Posted Friday at 16:22 Report Posted Friday at 16:22 (edited) Here are my steel’s. The black covers are rubber, not plastic. I think the nuts are 17mm. Edited Friday at 16:23 by Dave Knight
Jangalicka Posted Friday at 16:31 Author Report Posted Friday at 16:31 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 Posted Friday at 17:25 Report Posted Friday at 17:25 Let me know how you get on. These are not far from me and I could take one of mine in. https://www.brianpope.com/
Jangalicka Posted Friday at 17:43 Author Report Posted Friday at 17:43 I'll have a look, much appreciated. Here's another picture of my nuts ! Mine are 19mm
Miniliteman Posted Friday at 18:57 Report Posted Friday at 18:57 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.
Jangalicka Posted Saturday at 07:57 Author Report Posted Saturday at 07:57 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
Miniliteman Posted Saturday at 15:45 Report Posted Saturday at 15:45 This looks like the OEM nut. https://www.retroford.co.uk/product/oe-type-wheel-nut-m12-x-1-5mm-w002/
Jangalicka Posted Saturday at 18:21 Author Report Posted Saturday at 18:21 I think you might be right. £2.40 + VAT per nut though !
Dave Knight Posted Saturday at 19:23 Report Posted Saturday at 19:23 I can go to the engineering firm and compare if you like.
Jangalicka Posted yesterday at 16:20 Author Report Posted yesterday at 16:20 Really appreciate that offer but I couldn't let you go out of your way and do that. Many thanks though, cheers
