=Lynn Eades;.............It sounds like you did......Nice nuts.[/QUOTE]

Lynn do you think Boobee wants to touch my nuts

Boob ...40 nuts to a box old boy






























I have 1 full box left and a few loose ones laying around
Max

[Bob Carriere]

.....but I would like to apply some brute torque on your nuts Max......

...and speaking of loose nuts lying around..... I know of 3 or four around the Hammond Barn....

On more serious note Max...... the Champion brand name on the box.... is it Canadian or British...?

wonder if we can make a formal Heritage and historical claim for the repatriation of goods manufactured in Canada..... H**l ....they do it for old painting stolen by the German occupation force from former European owners.....

How would a used CNC cost to purchase....hihihi

my 20" wheels have the mushroom head on the studs,long and short.
i took half a wheel over to my friend with the cnc shop today.i'm waiting for a price on 200.they'll be grade 8 equivalent.

should i inquire about having nuts made up too?

i guess now would be the time to e-mail me with your wants..the more we have made the cheaper they get.

pm me 4 my direct e-mail.

cheers

So! I had better send this to Presedent O!! NOW we know the truth!

I think the Champion brand is JAPANESE. Many CMP (blitz) nuts and studs were made in Japan to supply the local market after supples of war surplus had dried up. Also, the DKK brand is JAPANESE. Does this qualify for NOS???

[Bob Carriere]

Duuane

I think there would be a greater demand for the nuts than the studs..... probably 5 or 6 to one...... almost every wheel I have could use 2 or 3 new 7/8 nuts.... one rim in 4 might need a stud replaced

Personally if I could get my hands on a full set of nuts.....40.... I would be set for life........price per unit becomes the big factor....

Howard....consider the work done "under the table" as part of the Billion $$ financial stimulus package...... if they can help the Banks they sure can help us poor CMP collectors....

Lendlease....... personnaly I don't care if they are made in Russia with left over steel from radioactive submarines...as long as quality is good and they fit .....glowing in the dark is a bonus.

A dollar is a dollar my boy...

[Bob Carriere]

How loud are those nuts anyways....?

Will they scream when we tighten them....?

PM me so we can work out the $$ details.... and shipping as it may be cheaper by first class airline seat then by postal freight.

While I was painting a group of 20" rims I noticed that some had the the mushroom heads that I think are "normal" for the 20" rims but two of them had the flat/recessed heads that I associate with 16" rims. I had understood that the 16" rims needed the flat heads for clearance on the brake drums but that the 20" had gone to the mushroom heads for several reasons. Reasons include that it was simpler to form a straight sided hole in the rim than a taper and doesn't rely on matching tapers, easier to weld, stronger due to flat bearing surfaces and full thickness rim stock. Photos of the two styles attached.

Bob you could have the nuts in Canada in early March as Mathew and his family from Mount Forest are coming down under a week from today.
We are looking forward to seeing them again and I will have to take him for a short blitz trip for old times sake.
Max

[Max Hedges]

Bob your nuts are in the bag ready to leave Yass

flying out today.... our time... Friday

[Bob Carriere]

Thanks Max

Have Mathew call me at home once on the frozen ground.

Will be in his area March 12/13 and again March 20th so we can arrange for pick up.

Can hardly wait to play with my ...... well you know what I mean.

[Bob Carriere]

.... I got my nuts....... wonderful..... beautiful.... they were kind of blueish when I got them as it was cold and snowing in Mount Forest.

Grant took pictures of me and my nuts and should post them soon.....! assuming they pass the censure.....

Boob

[Max Hedges]

Bob glad we could help with your nuts, hope you polished them up well before Grant took the photo.

Max

[Grant Bowker]

I've tried to attach the photo of Bob playing with his nuts. If it doesn't show, either I've failed posting 101 or the censors got it. It's been a while since I saw a grown, allegedly sane man playing with his nuts in public.

[Max Hedges]

Grant, is Bob actually drooling over his nuts in the photo? We can't quite see if they're polished or not, can you keep an eye on him please.

This is one of the funniest threads I've looked at.
