My friend Terry Vaughan is a wheel restorer up in Burlington, WA. His specialty is '60s wheels, especially Torq-Thrusts, but he also works on newer wheels too. He is building a new website and I wanted to post it here.

I bought a set of old TTs from terry a few months ago and here is what he is capable of:

I'd like to know where he gets his lug nuts from. It's VERY hard to find the shallow shank of the right diameter for the hole in the wheel.

E-mail him Verne. Terry included the correct lug nuts with the set of TTs that I bought from him. No more double-washers, etc.

I wish I known thay you could get the correct lugs. I bought a set of lugs and then had them machined to get them to work correctly.
