Phil:

Since I didn't get to meet you when I picked up the engine at Tom K's, as long as you are getting down to Burnet, just continue on down the road a few more miles and pay a visit to Boerne. We also have some good BBQ here.

Congrats on your new '62. Looks like a real nice C1.

 

[Phil Reed]

Stupid question.....lug nuts on front end tires are chrome....and my socket will barely get on it because the socket will not turn. Is the chrome cover supposed to be pulled off for more clearance????
This is driving me crazy!!!!!!!

 

[Blk61409]

Are they chrome including a cap that covers the lug bolt? If so it’s probably a snap on cap over the lug nut.
If you can see the lug bolt protruding from the lug nut it’s probably a chromed nut.

If so, strength is all that’s needed, ask Candy for some help.

They should be standard lug nuts, proably mag type, not sure what you really mean, tight fit?

 

[Phil Reed]

The OD of the nut is almost the same ID of the hole in the mag rim Mike. Not enough room to give the socket a chance to turn.

 

[1958 delivery]

Actually your socket is rubbing on the mag's hole if you can even get it in. Thinner socket...............

 

[Phil Reed]

It's an impact socket and the business end was turned down. Still not enough clearance Clarence!!!!!

Get a slim, deep socket. Are those lugs 13/16"?

 

[Don Jacks]

Phil.Go down to Advance Auto and get a cheap spark plug for a late small foreign car.They are usually very thin and have a 3/4[19mm] socket.This will likely solve your clearance issues.

 

[rsavage]

No Phil, mine is silver but I was referring to the cup holder, Id like to find one of those

Phil. is this above your pay grade?

 

[Phil Reed]

No Mike.

 

[409gang]

Phil if you have a Snap On socket try it as there wall thickness is usually pretty thin.
