Joe,
I am pretty certain Linda at Morgan spares knows, she sent me a
replacement stud once. If not, try Melvyn Rutter, I have always
found him to be most helpful - he may even be able to tell you
exactly which wheel to order. Or How about Greg in the 'engine
room' - come to think of it wasn't Tony Shealy's car an earl one,
and didn't that that minilites - you know the one that is
currently for sale without the engine?
Good luck.
