Wing nuts/Hexnuts
 
Has anyone replaced their knock-offs (wing nuts) with the hex type wheel nuts on their BDR? I know backdraft has some used ones, but no new ones, and they are aluminum, and I would prefer steel. Are they available from the other halibrand type wheel mfrs, or some racing supply co.? Any leads appreciated!
TIA, Ted

Just found some at Vintage Wheels, but they are aluminum.

All highly stressed race cars I know of use aluminum. They will work perfectly for you. They never will come loose. Why would you want steel? I doubt you will ever find steel. Good Luck.
