Joe,
You may be right ... I went back to Sears and can get "shanked" lug nuts
for the TR6 (although the car isn't listed in the catalog - a call to the
wheel manufacturer brought forth the correct lug nut for the wheel/car
combo) - should be here by Thursday.
many thanks for the suggestion ... I can now really have some fun going
round the twisty bits!
