chris piazza Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Anybody out there have any spare lug nuts, or know of a source, for '35 Commander or Presidents? I need both left hand thread and right. Thanks guys and Happy New Year. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albtrossca Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I'll see what I've got. Might have some. Do you have steel spoke wheels? I have 2 extras that were bought as spares but they have a different bolt diameter? Looking to sell or trade to the right guy. I have a 34 Dictator. I bit of a challenge finding parts because so much of it is a one of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris piazza Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Thanks for your reply! My car has the standard (I guess) artillery wheels. 9/16x18 lugs. I have some '35 Dictator wheels and the bolt pattern and bolt holes are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Chris Dorman sells lug nuts but you may have to re-machine the seat. https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-46074-611-1261.aspx this is for the left hand thread ones.Once you are on their website you an find right hand threaded ones.

37S2de Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Chris —-Did you ever find the lug nuts you needed? I was looking through some of my Hudson parts and came across some (6 or 7) right hand 9/16-18 lug nuts and one left hand 9/16-18 lug nut that I had for my ‘37 President. The parts book shows the same numbers (174969 and 174970) for ‘35 Commanders Years ago, when I was restoring my President, I bought a six foot length of 7/8 hex stock with the intention of making my own lug nuts. I also bought a left hand 9/16-18 tap. If you still need ‘em, I can make ‘em. It really wouldn’t be difficult in the lathe. Just put the stock in the lathe, drill it, tap it, cut the angle, relieve the threads, part off to length, start the next one. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albtrossca Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 That's awesome RBK set you up. I counted through mine and do have a few spares but some of them are rough. Di you mind sharing the number he gave you incase I need some replacements too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbk Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) You would have to modify the taper on these nuts but that would be easily done by using a 9/16" bolt cutting the head and unthreaded part off and locking two nuts together and chuck them in a lathe.
