Fastcars use a fully threaded socket head 1/2" UNF lug. I'm looking for a shorter version of this but IDK where (to look) - do you? (Fastcars did not respond to my email). Found some without ur help.

Mk1: CKD 11/66 first registered 8/5/67; owned since 3/77. 18GB +40 balanced. Peter Burgess BVFR head. Piper 285. 123. FidanzaFW. 4synch c/r box. Lots more as I did a nut and bolt rebuild; finished 2015. Tartan Red.

GT: December '78. VW Golf guards, flush fit front and rear valances. Torana XU1 vents, frenched indicators & Mk1 rear lights. 'Worked' Rover V8 with Monsoon ECU for EFI. GM4L60E, Lokar tiptronic & Quick4 controller. Vintage Air A/C. FC IFS. CCE 4 link rear. Salisbury with Quaife. Jaguar Storm.

If they have allen head socket on them, then they are referred to as "tuner lug nuts" that might help you in a Goggle search.

"Could you not just cut it shorter?"

I could except I need my originals for when I take my adapters off to get the car "approved".
