I'm trying to find a left hand metric lug nut. I need 12 mm x 1.5.
Tried local tire dealer and our three auto parts stores. I've Googled my fingers raw and no luck.
Any sources?

It's a 1st generation Ford Courier (re-badged Mazda). Pickup bed turned into a trailer.

Can't you just pop out the studs and replace them?

The other odd thing is it is a 14" wheel with 6 lugs. Not unheard of, but not common either.
This trailer has made a round trip on the Alcan without a hitch. I want to make everything right on it this winter. If I can easily find the ONE LH metric nut...great. It's not a deal breaker on using the trailer.

it don't. But it makes it less 'odd'...... and easier to find higher rated tires for towing.

How did you hook it to the pickup?

OK, but how does that solve my nutless problem? Is that the result of trying to get the lug off before realizing it was LH thread?

I guess I'll be the odd serious one here, could the studs be swapped out with right hand threads?
