Hey listers
  I recently acquired several "Nokof" brand two-eared fake knock-offs.  These 
are the ones that go with the 8-spoke magnesium American Racing "Silverstones" 
that were a dealer option on Triumphs and a few other cars in the 60's.
  They are threaded on the inside (eight threads per inch) and left- or right- 
handed, just like real knock-offs.
  The problem is, I have four righties and only one lefty.
  Is there anyone out there with an extra lefty they would be willing to sell 
or trade for a righty?
  Alternatively, is anyone aware of a source for authentic-looking two-eared 
fake knock-offs with left-hand thread?  I know there are righties available.

  Thanks very much, and keep up the good work!

P.S. I'm in digest mode, so you might want to reply off-list.
