At first glance, the EELCO acorn style lug nut appears to be the same as the acorn style lug nut manufactured by Mr.Gasket, but there is a difference when compared.

Since locating 5 used or NOS EELCO acorn style lug nuts is presenting a challenge, perhaps someone has a set of Ansen Top Eliminator/Sprint rims that are not so partial with originality and may consider selling the hardware?

The EELCO acorn style lug nut size needed is 7/8" head, 3/4” shank and 7/16” (RH) threads.


Thanks!

I had these made for me for these vintage ET mags. The spirals are correct for these (not smooth). I'm sure you could have the same thing done from hex stock with a CNC.

Well done, very nice! I will have to explore this further as a possible solution.

I located a few original lug nuts. Just need a few more.

If you find the correct lug nuts but longer shank a good machinist could trim them down to correct length.

I might just have to do that. I did not think that finding Ansen acorn style lug nuts would be somewhat challenging.

Still actively searching for the EELCO acorn style lug nut; size needed is 7/8" head, 3/4” shank and 7/16” (RH) threads or 1/2” (RH) threads.

Thanks
