Superformance Wheel Nuts

[Brian Coombs]

Does anyone know if you can buy "normal" wheel nuts for Superformance axles, I found the Ruffian cars ones, but wondering if there are any other suppliers ideally in Europe.

Any information, recommendations welcome....

You could probably get some gulf spec nuts from gelscoe, they where hex instead of winged.

Or you could get a machine shop to make you some out of 6082t6 or so.

Easiest is to measure threads and have a machineshop cnc a set matched to your wheels

Thanks, Yes, I'm beginning to think that is the best option.

Its no point ordering from any of the companies unless you get them from South Africa directly using the thread and wheel specs used by SPF and specific to your hubs. Its many retired engineers/machinists offering their fabrication service on ebay. Often at a good price. Worth a shot checking.

Vintage Wheels used to have them but no longer last time I asked them. I believe this is the spec:

Thread depth 1.4 inches.
8 TPI thread 58.4 mm.
60 degree chamfer.

I have a set of 4 hex type nuts for a Superformance GT40 available.
