Lazer 4 spoke wheel nuts to Mk 1 Escort

**smcka** · 26-02-2009, 09:50

Can any one advise where I can get the correct wheel nuts to suit a mark 1 Escort (imperial threads) fitted with Capri Lazer 4 spokes? These have the large tapered washer on the to suit the wheels.

I have been waiting on speedshack to supply them for weeks but no luck so far.

Getting desperate, cant drive me car

You need 7/16 UNF 60 degree taper nuts

Any of these should do it but they're blind nuts so check the stud protrusion from the wheel isn't so long that they bottom out before going tight.

The first one lists them as £4 but it's not clear if that's each

or for a set of four

Just noticed you're in Oz

These might do it but there's only 8 of them

I knock the studs out and fit metric ones. Not sure what Ford models you have down there, but Sierra and the like will fit. Wouldn't be surprised if Focus etc will too.
Then you can use the nuts off any later Ford that is fitted with alloys, the above models plus modern Escorts etc.
Laser alloy nuts are the same as all modern Ford car alloy nuts.

Thanks guys. If I was a smart man I would have put metric studs on this sucker but I already put new long imperials on.

Anyway, finally got a reply from SS and they are in Royal Mails hands. 1.70 each, gotta be worth it. 60 quid all up for a set of wheel nuts sent over

. Whaddya do if you can't get them here?

95 onwards 5 stud Transit ones work a treat and they are slightly longer than the std length focus sierra cortina ones,
