Question Blue anodized hex nuts ???

Does anyone know where I might get some blue anodized aluminium domed hex nuts ? Got some from a place theat advertised on here before called Lemonsport IIRC, but I can't see them anywhere now. My mudflaps were more WR Green so I decided to fit some lovely new WR Blue Prodrive ones in readiness for the NBO and two of the nuts had seized and rounded so I had to cut them off My flaps are just bolted on with the bracket.

Thanks in advance for any help, off to trawl Google for a bit

BTW, this will give you some idea what I'm on about...

Looks like bikers are into this sort of bling so off to pop down to a few local bike shops now

try www.tastynuts.com - I dont think you should use aluminium in an area like the wheels though because they arent that strong, probably the blue titanium ones would be better

Mike, not using them on the wheels, just to hold the mudflaps on. The current ones have been there for 2 years without fail and I only need 2 new ones 'cos I rounded 2 that had seized whilst swapping the flaps over. Will be giving Tasty Nuts a try and will call Scott and Alyn (cheers Harvey) tomorrow.

Was at a bike dealers today and they had a pot with loads in, just what I needed. "Can I buy 2 of those ?", "No!", "Err, why not ?", "We only sell the whole pot for £44." So I asked, "Do you get many people asking for just a few ?", "Yes !" So why not open one pot and sell them at triple the price as singles ********
