Wheel Nuts

Hi folks
I'm currently restoring a Scammell but i'm looking for some wheel nuts.
7/8 BSF RH and LH thread.
What i'm looking for is very simular to a Bristol Bus wheel nut.
Can anybody help ? do you know of any ? does anyone manufacture these still or maybe making reproductions?
Thankyou for taking the time to read this.

Regards

James

Welcome to Truck and Bus James, I do hope you have luck finding wheel nuts. Please post some photos of your restoration project.

There must be plenty of scrapyards with such nuts, or try suppliers such as Vass or Withams.

Is that it ?, where's the rest of it ? cab etc.
Also, is that a cement mixer on the lefthand side of the photo just behind Scammell?

That was all I had. Its going back in the original livery of Beck & Pollitzer which is the only company it was owned by.
I attach a pic of how its going so far, still a little more to go.
Yes it is a mixer in the last picture, it has a petter engine and is the best mixer ive ever used, it will mix faster than you can shovel.
