Larry:
On another web site (don't remember which) you will find referenced a Wheel
Tite bolt P/N 28020.
I located these at the local Pep Boys, a few on the shelf, but plenty in the
warehouse, (according to them)
Wheel Tite
P/N 28020
7/16" X 20
Knurl Dia. .525
Shoulder. Len 9/16"
O.A.L. 1 3/8"
Packaged at Motormite Mfg. Div of R&B, Inc
P.O. Box 1800
Colmar, PA 18915-1800
(in 1992)
Some grinding of the head for wheel cylinder clearance may be required
(rear).
I chose to go with 12mmX1.5, 13.15 knurl, L-43 shoulder 11 (all mm) found in
NAPA's picture catalog P/N 641-3128, with chrome acorn nuts P/N 735-2168
for my particular application. No grinding necessary, tapered head, pressed
right in,
for use with TR7 wheels.
