Warren D Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Looking for a source of lug nuts with studs, 1/25 scale for a smaller truck. Thanks

Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 RB Motion. http://www.rbmotion.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=77 There not cheap and they are not labled by "Scale" so you need to know what size and shape you need. They are the best out there. Tons of differant sizes to work on everything up the 1:8 scale.

Oh, and you're right, they are not cheap!
Chariots of Fire Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) made my own, Warren. Go on line and look for #15 Fusion Beads. They are little ceramic hex nut shapes with a hole in the middle. Drill a hole where you want the lug nut to go and insert a piece of 0.020" plastic rod. Slip over the rod a fusion bead and secure it with a tiny drop of glue. Then trim off the plastic rod leaving just enough to represent the stud. They look pretty convincing. You can get a package of 200 beads for less than $5. Below is an example I used for my Class 325 rig. Edited September 5, 2018 by Chariots of Fire
