Hello All,

So I had a little problem with my front passnger side that I needed to look at. See this thread for details: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=3188

Anyway, while trying to take off the rim, I snapped the top off of one of my locking lug bolts. See the pciture of how i busted it.

I have Fuchs 4 bolt rims, so I like the locking bolts. They came with the car. I have a replacement bolt in there, but it is for a steel rim, so its about 1/2 inch too short. Anyone have a replacement bolt that they want to part with?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Joe

speaking of locking bolts. how would one get them off if they had lost the key?

Pep Boys has a socket designed just for that. Found this out yesterday. It is a threded socket. I think it trashes the locking bolt when you use it.

I dunno

Send me a pic and we'll go from there.

I may not need it as I am heading out to Pomona this weekend to hunt for them too.

Maybe we could work a deal for some swaybars????

So does anyone have 4 long lug bolts that will work with Fuchs rims that they want to get rid of? Please let me know.

Thanks,
