Yenko Deuce wheel question

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

In my experience, the majority of original cars found have small chrome acorn lugnuts, not the stainless capped ones commonly used. I have all of my original lugnuts, and have seen the ones on other 'Yenko' converted cars, and they are chrome. I have not been able to find correct replacements, so I used the stainless version temporarily. If I can't find the correct ones, I'll get my originals rechromed.

It is possible that the 'Hurst' converted cars received a different lugnut. What do you have on the yellow deuce Schoneye?

I just went out and checked again. I do have the small chrome acorn nuts. I have the cragers on it now, and have two bags of nuts in the drawer. When I checked last night I grabbed the wrong one. The others came with the Peck deuce. They are the stainless capped ones. Sometimes it's hard to keep your nuts straight, or anything connected with them. S.

So you're saying your Yellow car originally DID come with chrome nuts, not the stainless capped ones?

[Schonyenko2]

Yes Joe, that's right. Sometimes I get the two deuces mixed up. 3 of the 4 rims that came with the Peck deuce are the originals. And the Yellow deuce did come with Goodyear white striped E70s. Hey, give an old man a break. If I remember to zip up it's a good day. S.

When Don Yenko installed the Magnum 500 14X7 wheel on the 1970 Deuces,did he use the Bolt on Center cap #3956770,or the later design spring clip cap #3983323?

[camarojoe]

They were bolt ons.

bolt on's. Two little bolts from a small envelope that was tucked into one of the caps.
