![]() 4306 forum posts 291 photos | I need to replace a left-hand thread wheel bolt and nut for an LDV van. They are no longer manufactured and the odd ones available are for double rear wheels and no nuts... I'm quite capable of making a suitable stud and nut, but what would be the best choice of steel? My guess is EN24T would e better than EN19T? Stub. |
