What wheel bolts for Capri Laser wheels
I have changed my rear axle and will need to use bolts instead of wheel nuts.
Any one else done this?
Where can i buy the apropriate bolts from?

Most Ford alloys from the Capri through to the Focus used the same nuts, 60° with a 60° washer and chrome caps, I have a biscuit tin full of them
picked up from scrapyard floors.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

get a stud conversion kit so you can still use nuts

That's what I'd do, I much prefer studs to bolts for holding wheels on.

I think that's the way I will go, but I don't like the thought of bolting into aluminium to hold wheels on.
I would rather use studs with a flange on the back side..
