So rather than having to keep snugging up the fake bolts, I got wondering about some type of sticky stuff I could apply to hold them on but not make them impossible to remove. Something permanently temporary. Thread locker? Silicone? Ear wax?
Lou suggested plumber’s putty. And he had some on hand. It was worth a try. I smeared blobs on the actual lug nuts, installed the hubcaps and…
It has worked so far. After about a thousand miles, some of it on lumpy and washboarded roads, the fake nuts are still snug.
Did you say fake news or fake nuts cause President Trump has the copyright to former.
ReplyDeleteSame problem for me, I use a tiny piece of juicy fruit gum, works great.

ReplyDeleteI called it good fortune at the time.
I hope yours stay put.
