<VV> Lugnuts for Datsun wheels

[corvairdad at gmail.com]

Bryan,
I bought a set online from Gorilla. I can make some measurements tomorrow so you order the right ones. Note you may want to order centering rings since the bore in the wheel is slightly larger than the hub's mating diameter. Since I am cheap, I mount the wheel using two conical nuts (just enough threads engage), the other two holes get the shank nuts torqued, the conicals come off, and the last two shank nuts go on. Works every time - no vibration.

Hi folks,

I've been busy with other things, getting back to the Corvairs a little now.  I'm once again looking for wheels (to replace the stolen set) and have a line on some factory Datsun aluminum wheels from a 280ZX turbo. Datsun used a shank style lug nut rather than the common conical nuts.  If you've put a set of Datsun wheels on your early 'Vair, what did you use for lug nuts?
