Can anyone tell me where I can get a set of wheel bolts and washers for an old set of Minilites? I tried Main Street Motor Sports and they told me that the bolts and washers are no longer available. I am only missing 2 wheel bolts and a thick and thin washer. Does anyone have 2 of these in their garage that they are willing to part with?

Here is a picture of the bolts.

Try paulspruell.com or Racing Stuff.com they both advertise in the SCCA magazine Sportscar that they sell panasport rims, I'm not sure but I think the bolts are the same style (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

I just put my minilites on the car, the PO of the rims (Hi Van (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) ) had them drilled to match the style of the regular 914 wheel bolts. They are a little different but in a pinch I could use the regular 914 bolts.

I'll try those 2 places. I guess my other option would be to have the bolt holes machined to accept the 914 wheel bolts. Does anyone know of a place in the Boston area where I could get this done?

hey,

try len over at autosport engineering in stow.
or try shine racing in walpole.

Or in a pinch little foreign car garage (watertown) the owner races 914's (go there to see some old and cool ferraris. Get your car corner balanced and aligned there too...one of the few in the area that will touch a 914

Or KTR in Ayer (same as above, but more eye candy...bring Greg and get the VIP tour.

Or....millis used auto (owner is an ex 914 scca racer...now he races custom open wheeled jobs..)

Revolution Wheels use a similar bolt with a thick flat washer. If your leads for Minilite bolts don't work out, you might call Revolution and ask them. Both brands are British so there may be some similarity.

Those things are crap. Can't put any torque on them or they'll trist right off.

I've done two pretty easliy.
