        I've already tried the autojumble list but I thought I would also
drop a 
        line on this list. 

          I have a set of Mini-Lite Sprint wheels that are destined for my
MkII 
        Cortina. these wheels used aluminum lug-nuts. Unfortunately, I no
longer 
        have the complete set. (someone tried stealing the wheels, but only
got 
        away with two of the lug-nuts.) I need two more to complete the set
as I 
        only have 14. I know that chromed steel lug-nuts will work, but I
would 
        like a complete set. No other good reason than that. 
         I'm not that fanatical about weight. (the chromed steel lug-nuts
weigh in 
        at .18 lbs, the aluminum's weigh in at .06 lbs. It saves roughly .5
lbs per 
        wheel. Nothing to get excited about. If anybody has some of the
aluminum 
        lug-nuts, and would be willing to part with them, let me know
please.
