Hi, all.
Once again, I am dealing with this as we speak.  If these 'mags' (I've 
never worked out why people call aluminum wheels mags) were made by 
Appliance, you can't get new nuts, as the company is moribund.  the 
shank is smaller than standard, and the washer is a precision fit on the 
shank, and in the counterbore on the wheel.  But there is a solution.  A 
stock late Spit wheelnut can be modified to fit.  The slotted's shank 
dia. is about .521", and the washer's I.D. is about .001" smaller, the 
O.D. is about .890".  The Spit nut can be turned to the correct dia. and 
length.  I will start looking for a correct washer.  If they don't 
exist, fire up the lathe again.

Cheers

Scott Kohl
