Hi all.

Can anyone guess what this is and what is it for

[ghosthunter]

Looks like a cigarette lighter made from a shotty cartridge.

[Smith3210]

Can't help feeling this is a trick question. I agree it looks like a spent cartridge however the use I think has changed. I think you have used it to help remove the wheel nuts

[fogman]

is there a prize for the correct guess dave ?
is it a shotgun cartridge lipstick ?

[andytats]

You are going to be doing what I've been thinking of doing.
Cutting them down abit then heating up the plastic so they fit over a 19mm nut.
You will need 24. wheel nut covers

Hi all.

There is no prizes for guessing what these are.

andytats,has got it correct,these are shotgun shell wheel nut covers and andytats,I have got 24 of them.

These will be going on the nuts when my 16" alloys are on our Fronty,as the 20" alloys have centre caps cover the wheel nuts.

[andytats]

If you can get hold of any 14 gauge shells they fit over the tyre valves.
( I've only find two so far )

[dave1966]

andytats,that is a good idea,bud.

......make sure their spent before you heat them up........ .........

Andy did you laquer the brass to stop it tarnishing?

[DarrenH_2.2]

cool idea !

the only issue i can think of is that they actually rust despite looking like brass. ive got a "pigeon special" shoved over the end of a walking stick as a ferule and its completely disintegrating

[fogman]

dont take this the wrong way andy but id rather see you're nuts
