Hello All,

So I had a little problem with my front passnger side that I needed to look at. See this thread for details: A little wiggle

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

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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

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????
