Arrived in Italy to pick up my cerb (long story) and it is minus a wheel nut. Need to try and find a temp replacement at short notice.

Anyone know what cars nuts will fit. Is it a standard size?

Cheers,

Matt

Hmmm thanks guys.
anyone know if 1/2 inch unf was fitted to any euros scrap /Ford or anything more plentiful than jeep. Not really bothered about getting a matching nut, but ideally would like a nut!

Currently driving with only 4 of 5....

Kinda spoiling my entertainment on these pretty cool roads!

Surely you can just find a local Jeep dealer?
I think, by the looks of things on google, they were fitted to some older Jags?
Looking on ebay at locking wheel nuts for Jeeps they dont seem to be offering alternative fitments.
