Nuts & Bolts
I have two questions about bolts/threads that I hope someone can answer.
1- The wheel lug bolts are 14 mm but what is the pitch of the thread ?. (I am selling my '74 remains for the engine but I want to keep the Fuchs and lug nuts,so I am 'fitting' steel wheels and replacement nuts) and B- I have a fairly new ignition coil which I am also keeping,but the wire terminals on top appear to be of the 'push on ' connection type . I can find no known nut that fits on them. If this is the case,where can I obtain these connectors,or do I have to fabricate something ?.

Lug NUTS ? ...
....for Porsches they can be bought here from Pelican... or you drop by your local VW dealer and buy VW transporter steel lug nuts. Both have the proper "hemisphere" contact. The 14 x 1.5 "Acorn" nuts at your local car parts place have the wrong profile where contact is made with the wheel...these are "cone" shaped..not "hemi" like the P-car originals. - Wil

Why transport vs. stock though? My local VW place only has "stock"
