Will they work? Tired of the copper colored ones the Cap'n detested. I've never trusted the torque value due to the ovaled holes and the way they tightened.

The phosphate ones WILL rust. I personally would avoid them. Remember the factory typically does things for a reason.
Our cars they tried to shave off every penny of cost. This is not an inexpensive nut to make compared to a normal piece of hardware off the shelf. Think manufactured cost of $1.50 each x 8, $12 compare it to 8x .12 for an off the shelf nut and your looking at $11. Multiply by 100,000 and the million dollar question is why did they spend more? I'd bet there is a good reason. If course if there is a need I would be happy to make these. |
