Left Hand lug nuts - 09/07/09 09:57 PM

Does anyone know where I can buy 1/2"-20 (x1-1/2" long)lefthand thread conical, bulge seat, chrome acorn type lug nuts? I've been shopping online at the various sponsors and the major race parts houses and can't find them. I bought a really sharp set of wheels for my 66 B-body, but I don't want to re-stud the axles if I don't have to.
Thanks MOPARTS
So far guys the response is good, but the lug nuts I need have a larger tapered base below the flats of the hex section of the nut. Kind of like a GM nut that has the plastic fake nut cover that screws on after you put the steel nut on the wheel. Thanks for the pix, but that's the reason they are called "conical, bulge...". Jegs and Summit only list right-hand threads.

Any of the performance warehouses like Jegs or Summit have the lug nuts.

www.beaparts.com just came out with repros of the LH and RH ones that are cheaper AND more correct than the Mopar ones (they disc'd the LH ones??) Don't know what rims you have or if their seat is big enough for aluminum rims.

What wheels are you using and what exactly does the nut seat area look like ?

The nuts I listed are the same seat angle as all the acorn and acorn bulge seat nuts.

I buy probably 120,000 nuts a year, and am not familiar with another LH thread nut that is acorn seat, but 'different' still out there
