Where to Find Black Hex Nuts

[Justin]

I am looking for a set of black anodized hex nuts for hildebrand knockoff wheels. I see vintage has them but they have been out of stock forever. Does anyone know where to locate a set? Thanks

Do it yourself Anodizing kit

I would love to but I currently only have spinners which is why I am looking for hex nuts.

Measure up threads, and get a set made at any decent place with a lathe and a mill to match your spindle threads. Mine are 2 1/4in 8tpi witworth threads, pitch angle on wheels (anodized red and blue)
The chance with buying from somewhere and them not fitting is pretty big.

Lots of retired guys with a lathe in their shed willing to make you a set. Look on ebay for Lathe & mill services.

You will be happier in the long run if you hard anodize the aluminum nuts. Fortunately, hard anodizing produces a dark gray or black finish.
