I think there are far more people with LH studs/nuts on the LH side of the car than you think. I haven't changed any of mine. In reality, I don't think I know of anyone in my circle of Mopar-ites that has changed them. I would want to buy a complete set- LH and RH's. my

Myself, I don't see a problem with the right handers being marked with an 'L', I know which direction to turn them.
YOU know which way to turn them.....but what happens when you sell and the poor SOB thats looking at an "L" stamped lug and torques it right off?

Mike, Last year, I "created" some dimpled nuts out of vintage OE lug nuts that did NOT have the dimple, via machining, and even stripped them and re-applied the nickel plating with a chrome flash. They turned out very well, but it was a very expensive deal. May I suggest producing the left hand STUDS, as well as the LH lug NUTS, so that way everyone gets what the cars originally had anyway, and thus brain lock with the impact gun can be avoided. Bill Rolik P.S. Another couple of days have passed, and no new products for the boys in Mopar land. What seems to be the holdup?

Several of my cars still have left hand studs and mismatched lug nuts with subtle differences. I would buy both left and right sets. As far as making right hand stamped with an L, that would be a big mistake IMO.

Not worth the confusion for the few show cars that would want them. If you're not showing your car then it doesn't matter if they have an "L" on them or not and if it did matter and correct LH lug nuts with an honest "L" on them were available the show guys would buy them anyway.
