Title: 65/66 Standard lug nuts surface
Post by: Jerry on February 01, 2010, 10:55:57 AM

Hi guys

Where the standard lug nuts on the 65/66 Mustangs somehow coated?
Or where they just plain steel? How should i thread them to have
them as original as possible. I allready sand blasted them.

Thanks Jerry

Believe they were plated with cadium originally - a common coating at the time

The C0AZ-1012-A standard lugs that I used to sell over the counter at the Ford store were definitely clear cad.
