Hornet Wheel Lug bolts needed

    Had a flat yesterday. Damn near couldn't get the wheel bolts off. Turned out the bolt threads are severely worn and some P.O. idiot had "fixed" the problem by doping up the threads with JB weld.

    Does anyone have a set of new or good serviceable wheel bolts for '51 Hornet? I'm thinking I could use at least 10 for the two rear wheels.

    Thanks to all,

    Before reading any of these, I found what I needed at a local parts store. Appreciate all the feedback.
