I can't see photos still, but a bloke with an eBay name of Brett cnc, used to do as close of a copy as possible, I think he was in melbourne, someone told me that he had done a small batch again. Gary.

Thanks Gary.
I've contacted him and unfortunately he's not making them anymore.

There is/was some engineering company in South Australia that make/stock hard to get wheel nuts, studs etc and they can do custom stuff too, cannot recall their name though

It was Galpro Engineering in Carvan in SA, I cannot find their webpage any more and their old premises appears to have been sold a number of years ago too.

Ridgeroll,
How long ago did you contact him and get the no go answer?
He did stop making them for a good 12 months, but not that long ago he was back on ebay selling them again.
Hope you might be in luck.

Hi JPXu1,
I spoke to Brett this morning, he doesn't plan to make anymore at the moment due to the amount of work he has.

I sold some to macdou on here, send Ken a pm, he may possibly have 1 set left he'd sell you, they come from Brett, hopefully Ken wouldn't mind that.

I purchased a set for my Sprintmasters from this crowd:- https://www.bsawheel....au/contact-us/
Mine may be the later "Acorn" type, but this crowd surprised me, they new exactly which ones to give me. I went there with a rim.

Acorn style is lc xu1 steel rims mate. Bretts where the go, very close to an original nut.
