Can anyone help in finding this type of wheel bolt. Have looked hi and low. Have 2 wheels with only 3 lugbolts...

Unfortunately your pics are not showing in your post.

You can use Mazda RX7 and early 626 wheel bolts on an 850. The steel wheel ones work well. Some of the bolts for alloys can be too long. The biggest negative of the Mazda bolts are the size of the bolt head is 21mm as I recall versus the 19mm of a Fiat.

Sorry, should have looked at your tiny picture at the Roosevelt wheels. Due to the way these wheel mount, running with 3 bolts per nearly 40 year old wheel is not a good idea.

It can be hard to find that type of bolt of late. Check with some of the other forums to see if anyone has a few laying around. http://www.mirafiori.com:8080/forumdemo ... ener.Cars_

You might be better off going to threaded studs and lug nuts.

The Medium Mag with Washer may work on the following link but you will have to measure what you have to know.

I haven't had any luck finding new ones, I'll post back if I do.

Found this article on making some, you might contact him:

All other references were quite old on Mira Fiori, those guys would be pretty likely to have a few.

the common part to use is the threaded stud with a mag nut. All of the vendors have them in stock, including me
