Seriously? Do you not think I'd have tried that had I had the covers?! :lol:

I do not have covers Sam ;-)

In the guy's for sale pics he did have pics with them fitted though, so I'd assume these were the same nuts...

Old photos, and they were lost since then?

Or maybe the seller was going to sell the car without wheels, and Nath almost negotiated all the way back :lol:

:lol: I just assumed they got knicked since those photo's were taken. To be honest I hadn't noticed until I was home. It's always been my intention to replace them anyway, so I hadn't even give them a first glance really.

ok, so this is the type i have on my lude.

Image

these are what i got from honda.

Image

but these are still about a dome end too tall. ( aproximatly 3mm)

what i need are these.

Image

so when i pop over to honda again in the morning i will see if they have the open ended ones. or... ill turn the tops off on a lathe if available, or as ted suggested. chop em off with a hack saw.
