HELP please, SVA nut / bolt cover needed Urgent
madrallysport - 29/4/09 at 08:18 AM

Guys SVA is on Thursday 7th May, I have bought and got some SVA nut covers from guys on this site.

But i need 2 that will cover a 21mm O/D nut, also 2 that will cover a 22mm nut.

Does any one have any I can buy from them, or were can i order nut covers from.

Cheers
Davy

if you cant get to stoneleigh, go to B&Q
they do some covers in the fasteners aisle, i grabbed a couple at the weekend for my seat belt bolts about a fiver for 4 but they passed, take a tape measure to check the sizes as i cant recall them being marked.

for my larger nuts (ooer) I put some sticky back draft excluder type rubber tape stuff found them and then covered that with black insulating tape... got through SVA no problems and has actually not fallen off yet a year later!!!!

Sorry, just to confirm, are these covering M12 nuts/bolts (typicvally used in suspension), or something else all together? If it is the M12, I have some white M12 nut covers given to me by another LCB member, for SVA. I am under instruction to pass them on when done, so if you want 'em, they are yours!

What the devil is that on??

The biggest heads on mine are 19mm.

If you warm the tifosi ones up with a heat gun the do stretch quite well

You may find an 18 will go on when warm and soft oo er missus

I found dunking them into hot water for a few seconds is plenty enough to soften them up
