Kris, I have a about 4 sets of old tired looking nuts if they are any use, I dont think they are anything special Cortina / Granada I think, when I got my new Image wheels they supplied new nuts off the shelf. Try here

They are still available at Motor Factors,or Cosmic ,or demon tw--ts ,just have a ring round and you will soon be sorted.Congrats on 15 years !P.S. if you are near Stinkpot, Andrew Page will be able to sort it.Tempus

The old Ford ones can get tired-looking and a nasty brown rusty colour, but if you're having trouble getting nuts you can spray them with silver paint, just take a few off at a time from each wheel. Alternatively silver smoothrite will do it.

Make sure they're really dry before you torque them up, and you might need to touch up any flaking after using the wheel brace.

The painting lasts about 6 months which might be long enough for you to find a new set.

THANKYOU ALL YOU GUYS FOR THE INFO AND SEE YOU AT "TVR FEAST" IN JULY, KRIS
