yes, they're pretty good. I like them.
Everyone loves the cookies that come with the parts........but those are
pure refined sugar0' cancer' cookies , so be careful there.
You might not think so if your body is say .........35 years old or so. Add
some decades on there and start noticing how many people are dying or
getting cancer at your age or lower, and .......Well 'some people' are
carful about refind 'white man' sugar like that. Pure poison kids.
But I love the jesture, and I end up munching them too.
i'm picky. -
The 'vanagon alloy wheel lug nuts' they sell for $ 1.00 each - no problem
with that price !
To be really accurate .............they could say 'similar to vanagon alloy
wheel lug nuts'........
because they are not the same.
The contact area in the cone face is noticeably smaller than that of a true
vanagon alloy wheel lug nut.
Probably will never be a problem............but it is a critical fitment on
a critical component and it would be nice if it wasn't claimed to be
something it's not actually.
it's 'similar'. That's an accurate statement.
but they're good to me, and I'm sure glad they exist ! They are my normal
sorce for 'vanagon only' type parts. Now if a set of 4 their 2WD spings
and 5 steel 15 inch wheels with lug nuts and mounting bolts wasn't well over
a grand..................
Vanagons Rule !
