    Minilite Lug Washers/spacers

    Is there a source, either original or repro, for the ever elusive Minilite washer/spacers? I have contacted Brett Johnson and awaiting a reply, but any other info in advance of hearing from Brett would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    There was more than one type used over the years form the early washers which were flat and used on the original sand cast magnesium wheels to the chamfered washers used on some Magnesium. I think that the the Aluminium 'Sport Wheels used flat washers.

    We used to use the Mag wheels on a Mini and they had a flat washer which was separate from the nut.

    When we switched to running a Mk 1 Escort the nuts were quite different and had steeply chamfered washers which were captive to the nut.

    I think that the Sport Wheels also used a captive washer.

    Do you have a picture of what you need?
