Wanted - 4 Black Wheel Nuts

Looking for 4 of the early type wheel nuts, black and shorter than the chromes ones that can be bought new now.

Time to get rid of the locking wheel nuts before they break!

Cheers,
John

I woiuld have though that it would be a challenge to get 4 of the black ones. LR changed them all as the black ones went rusty.... Bodsys Brake Bible

Thanks all for the suggestions.
I've tried the black plastic caps. Drilled a small hole in each one to get them off easier but they are still not great. They also hold water against the wheel nut causing them to rust. Took them off in the end.

Rubbed down and painted the wheel nuts with black rust paint so no rust showing.

I dont really want to buy a full set of new nuts and prefer the shorter nuts that don't stick out of the wheel as much.

How about get FIVE of the longer ones painted and put all on same wheel? Who would notice? A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
