<span class=''Apple-style-span'' style=''font-family: Arial; ''>Well, today I went through the lug nuts on the road wheels. What I really wanted to do was drill out the molded nuts and insert real ones or photoetch one like Panther F did on his build, but I can't find small scale nuts that would appropriately match the size of the road wheel. So, I went the easier route. Took a brass tube that is smaller in diameter than the nuts and beveled it, stuck it in a pin vise and carefully pressed and twisted in the center of the nut. The plastic is somewhat soft, so care needs to be taken.....came out decent if you ask me! </span><div style=''margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ''><div> </div><div>If I eventually find the proper scale nuts and bolts, I'll add them at a later time.</div><div>Oh, and my rubber sealed bearings came in to, whooot! Only 6 days from China..... weird.

I don't know if the scale or the measurements differ between the Tamiya Pershing road wheels and the HL Bulldog road wheels, but try
www.microfasteners.com for some tiny nuts and screws. I used 0-80 scale nuts (website has dimensions) on my Bulldog.
