Wheel Nuts
Does anyone know a supplier and/or what type of replacement wheel nuts are available.
Replacements from LR are a bit exxy.

I know a person who bought a set of non-genuine ones for his trailer from a wheel & tyre outlet in western Sydney but don't know where. They cost a lot less than genuines. Another option is from ebay UK.

I've heard that the recent Commodore wheels fit a D3. I don't know if the wheel nuts are identical.
Might be worth a look,

At the LRO show in UK, bag of 20 nuts for £40. Tempted but last year they were £30! He blames inflation. Anyone know what wheel nuts are here in the UK??

Bob,
I have just been through the process of trying to find a replacement for a slightly cross-threaded wheel nut on my D3. Rang the local LR dealer who (in a very disinterested tone) let me know that they had none in stock, could maybe get some from LRA but didn't know how long it would take, and that they were $28 each....
Posted on here (http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic55121.html) and found the right part number. Google it and you will find a bunch of places in the UK that sell them for around 4-5 pounds (approx $6-7) each. Even allowing for airmail, you could get a few delivered for less than what LRA want to charge you (which is what I've just done).
cheers
Geoff

I have just received 10 wheel nutsfrom the UK and guess what. They do not fit - they are too large.
I must have had a brain snap and finger trouble when I ordered the nuts as my order shows RRD 500520 and that is what was delivered.
Back to the drawing board.Retired Bob

I have 15 wheel nuts to suit these D3 18" rims.
They measure approx 33 / 34mm across the washer.
Let me know if you are interested in them.

Hi Rich,
What's the measurement across the "flats"?
I'm looking for some of these - but you are on the opposite side of the planet!A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
