I don't know anything about this.
In Aug/Sept 2000 (pre BEEF) I came close to getting ss nuts and washers made here in Australia but the min quantity was 1000. From memory it was going to cost me around AUD$10k, but I couldn't get sufficient commitment from owners via the BOC Forum. Bristol themselves were interested, they even supplied me with the necessary steel specs, but they wouldn't commit to buy any without seeing a sample. Fair enough I suppose but I couldn't get a 'sample' made without the other 999!
I did go ahead and get barrel nuts made which are needed for the exhaust manifolds on the 400 cid engines and I still have hundreds of them in my garage! After that little lesson I decided not to go ahead with the wheel nuts.
