Hi All
I am also going to put my wheelpants on in the spring. I have one backplate with nutplates and one with Tinnerman nuts. That's ok with me but I cannot find the axel nuts for wheelpants. I did find them for $350 ea. but I will keep searching.

They are all over ebay for $30 a pop.
Thats a low enough risk to buy as is and inspect for condition to be installed.

Re: Wheel Pant Hardware/Parts Sources
In a follow-up to this discussion.... the axle nuts for the wheel pants should be 2-15/16" long (almost 3 inches.) When shopping at E-barf many different lengths are offered, so be careful.
