Lunchbox wheel nuts?
Discussion
The Lunchbox went down a storm on christmas day .... first shake down run was entertaining, found we could flip it onto the roof going from full speed reverse to full speed forwards.
But the second shakedown on Sunday started off well, then the tranmission failed. Easy fix. But I was tired (had been working virtually all through the night on christmas day), so claim that I have a valid excuse for not tightening up on of the rear wheel nuts properly.
Next run was fine until the wheel nut went flying. Chances of finding a few mm diameter nut in a snow filled garden - impossible.
Any suggestions as to somewhere that will have a range of spares? Wonderland have an extensive list, but I can't figure out which of the hundreds of packs will have the requisite BD4 part.

They're worse than useless, only sell the Tamiya kits. Checked a few other stores in the area, near work, on the way home, none of them have any Tamiya spares.
eta This kit has some nuts which would fit:

Although I'm still not sure about my sons colour choice.
I'd done the grey primer prior to christmas day, then we went into Halfords. He spent ages choosing, going through shades of black, red, until he chose .... Ford Metallic Gold. I'd forgotten just how nasty (or wonderful?) the lacquer can smell.
