Has anyone seen my nuts!!!?? by MuddyFairy on Tue Jan 27, 2009 11:26 am
When we had our fix it day on the car we managed to misplace the wheel nuts for the side we were working on. I have the nuts and bolts that go through the wheel just not the things that cover the nuts...locking wheel nuts? covers? Not sure what they are but they are missing, left it this long to post as thought they might be around here somewhere but they arent.
So a heartfelt plea, has anyone seen them? Maybe picked up and put in pockets or box by mistake? Also missing is one screw out of my rear light cluster. I know it was dark and cold that day but I am positive we dont have them here.
Any help finding my nuts would be appreciated..... :mrgreen:

Actual wheel nuts were all sitting in a wheel if I remember rightly, as for the screw, I may have pocketed that as I found one in my overalls when I got home and wondered what the hell it was from. Any similar sized screw will fit.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

Aha so the screw thief has been uncovered! :mrgreen: No probs. Thanks. It must be the covers that go on the nuts then? They have a hexagonal top??
Anyway cheers again. :dance: How's your garage coming along?

Tut tut! Dave I have your number remember!!! mwahahhahaa :axe:
Got those little cover thingys sorted now thanks to lovely FOG members. But hubby had to use two bolts from the stuff we took off the car to attatch the wheel on as there were two that have gone missing, they are slightly shorter but seem to be holding the wheel on. Anyway will have to do til I get replacements.
