411 wheel nut size

It's probably worth mention that the nuts for the steel wheels are different to the nuts for the alloy Avon wheels. The nuts for the Avon wheels go through the wheel, so they are longer and come with a collar.

I bought some secondhand nuts and collars along with a secondhand Avon wheels from Bristol Cars Services. This was a few years ago and the nuts were £5 each (with collar) but they were in a sorry state. They are chromed originally and as you can imagine this doesn't wear very well, so once the chrome comes off they rust.

I was offered stainless steel nuts at the time that they use on the later V8 cars, but I felt £400 for a set of wheel nuts was a bit much.

At the time I looked into getting polished SS nuts made, but the demand wasn't sufficient to justify the tooling and set up costs.
