Ok we got everything EXCEPT the metal tire covers for the 32. The question I have is the arm that goes through the cowl what size nut is that? The one that I am talking about is the one on the inside of the car. Just checked the local hardware store and 3/4 was to small and 7/8 to big. It is fine thread. Also the rod that goes up and down into the wheel locks. What size is that? Anyone make that? We have one and the other was broken.

thanks

Corey,

The innside nut is a special made on, I believe. My car is buttoned up now, but I will try to find a photo, unless someone else jumps in on the forum and provides the details.

For the rod, I suggest you have one made of steel rof stock with matching threads, and plated. A machine shop should be able to duplicate the other one. Having the missing other peices would be more of a problem.
