I've just swapped the wheels on my '92 griff from the 5 spoke design to OZs (which look the erm, nuts) but the wheel nuts from the 5 spokes on the back wheels (fronts ok) are too long so the centre panel of the new wheels won't fit. Any idea where I can get some shorter ones?

Any motor factors should help - just make sure they have a 45 degree chamfer.

Seem to remeber on mine , when it had OZ's on that the rear nuts were open nuts.



Later....
Just checked, I still have the rear nuts off mine if your interested......

My rear nuts are open ones too, basically the same as the front but have had the end cut off.
