Hi all
At long last my ebay bargain wide five alleycat slotmags have arrived, but I am having a few problems sourcing wheel bolts. Basically, the bolts need to be flat-faced sleeved bolts, as there is no taper cut into the front of the wheel. The sleeved portion needs to be 19mm diameter, with a length of about 22mm. Then the threaded bit needs to be standard vw m14 thread with a length of about 15mm or thereabouts.
All the usual suspects have nothing available. Does anyone have any secondhand ones around, or is it possible to convert to studs and nuts?
Thanks!
 
Would something like this be an option ?

otherwise fitting studs & using an appropriate nut?

Only just realised looking at the m7 site that bays upto 70 had bolts rather than studs & nuts.
 
Thanks for the info, but I am going to see if I can get the original style bolts. As a kid I used to go into the local car accessory shop and they used to have loads of these. Just about the only non-vw wheel fitment seemed to be 4-spoke revolutions, slots or minilites, so there were plenty of sleeved bolts around. Sleeved nuts are still readily available, but all the bolts seemed to have made a bolt for it.......
 
Try this guy I get all my bolts/sleeved nuts from him for my buggy & bay
you will probably have to use a combo of bolt & washer
