Swelled nuts...

...No, not a case for a GP!!
Got a D3 with the usual issue of the wheel nuts swelling from the rust underneath. (or, that's what I assume to be the case?) Can the cover be cut off, or, better still, where's the cheapest place to get spares? Just wondering how you guys have got around this?

Advanced factors (site sponsor) are the place, just over a couple of quid each for replacements. There is a disco forum discount code which you can find by searching

Thanks, I've not looked around for any at the mo, up to my ears in other things... They're not desperate, just a pain having to hammer a socket onto some of them, but I know where to go now!

I wouldn't bother replacing them - PITA - I just got a full set of normal nuts from AF
