I was talking to del about this @ salisbury.
Anyone buying new (or wanting to protect the life of existing), del recommends soaking them in diesel.

Coming from you Simon that is 150% confirmation they cost way too much (Not even for your lovely Full-Fat perhaps??)MrClayton wrote:I'm not sure I can justify the cost of those unless it were for an amazing restoration on a special vehicle!

Re: Wheel Nuts
Surely this is a better and more cost effective solution to swollen nuts?

Re: Wheel Nuts
You'd think... But then you get into the realms of the socket bending the hell out of the stainless cap. Then you either end up with a mashed nut head, or the nut is now one and the same piece of metal as the socket!
