The previous owner of my car had spacers fitted in between the wheels on my car, Ive tried now for umteen times to get them right but just cant stop the vibration... so Im taking them off but will need ten shorter wheel nuts to put the wheels back on the hubs(I have 10 for the back wheels), dont really want to just saw an inch off them, as theres a taper at the end and Id need a lathe to do that. other option is someone who can cut them down and put a taper on them for me. Any suggestions would be much app.

Are they Ford hubs? If so you'll be able to get a slack handful from your local scrap yard.

Rob Mayo at www.trackstore.co.uk/ knows his stuff

The nuts I got from him were crap quality (the tips have rusted straight away and they've buckled slightly), but he managed to get me the right nuts for the job from his stock Very helpful chap!
