I'm looking for some lugs for Kelsey 88 demountable rims. These rims use lugs that are separate from the rim. I have a few already but, need more to get a full set of 16.
Thanks,
Stephen

Looks like Bob may be the source of supply. No longer listed on Langs
In any case its always good to include a picture to verify things.

The Lang's reproductions filled a need and they are to be commended for making them available. However, they were totally machined and each was a perfect copy of the next. Originals appear to be made by shearing short lengths from a bar of formed steel. Hence each differed from the next. The shearing cuts varied. The crush of the shearing made each slightly curved on each foot, the bolt holes were not all inthe exact same place etc. If you can get together a set of originals, they will be much nicer.
If you cannot source what you want locally, I have sand blasted an electro zinc plated originals in my swap meet stocks at $5 each but postage will add considerably to that.
