I have chrome lowers and the chrome axle holder (acorn) nuts are el cheapo or worse. They are so badly rusted no amount of 0000 steel wool will ever save them.

I have been searching all over and cannot find a replacement source. These acorn nuts are longer than standard.
Can someone point me to a source (and/or part number) to replace them. I’d prefer polished stainless steel but would settle for chrome again.

 

You should get your self a Bad As Hell axel cap, come in chrome and really clean up the right side, No nuts showing. I just got a black one for mine but I haven't put it on yet. They have a cool moto "cause acorn nuts are for squiells"

 

not axlecaps. Axle Holder, i.e. right side down tube has two studs sticking out which allows the axle to be held up and in place. they are probablyof the5/16" variity.

 

Oley the BAH alel cap replaces your existing right side cap/holder and acorn nuts. The cap is hollow to cover the studs and I believe ny-loc nuts are used to install the cap and are hidden from sight.
