Quick update on my 4AD - and... new lug nuts?
Posted: Sat Apr 06, 2024 8:49 pm
Afternoon everyone,
Been a bit since I posted. I've been busy with my son's Spitfire and his newborn daughter (our first grandchild!) so I haven't done much with the Singer.
Last week I got a new set of tubes/tires for it so once I get a few other things sorted (brake adjustment, carb rebuild) - I can start taking it on some short trips to give it a bit of a road-going shake-down.
On the carb rebuild - I found a company that sells the rebuild kit for the FAIO carb. Seems to contain all the gaskets, o-rings and even new needle valve and volume control screw/spring. I'll report back after I have a chance to use it.
My question today - is there a source for new lug nuts? The ones on my 4AD are "ok", but I'm an opportunist and if I have something apart, I like to clean/replace parts while I'm at it. They don't seem to be an SAE thread based on my thread checker. If not - I'll run them on my wire wheel and clean them up a bit before I put them back.
