I've got these cool Eleco Faclon wheels that use Revolution style barrel nuts. The problem is they didn't come with the wheels and so far I've not been able to find any that fit.

The diameter of the hole is 17MM, depth is 19MM and washer seat on the face of the wheel is 25MM. So does anyone know of any nuts that will work or am I going to end up having some made?

You could always have the seats recut to match an available nut. Specialist wheel shops can do this.

Unfortunately all the wheel nuts I've found so far are too small in diameter.

also wouldnt take someone with a lathe long to turn up some inserts to sleve them down to revolution size.

Don't think those will fit as they need to sit in a countersunk hole. There only looks like a 2mm chamfer around the hole, just to guide the nut in, not to seat it.

What about these with an 11/16" shank (17.46mm)

11/16" hex bar and turn some to suit.

Metric is for people who can't do fractions.
