spare wheel lug nut- euro version

hello


recently i had to change my tires- and the shop did a bad job mounting the spare- they ruined the threads. they were super nice and they want to pay for new lug nuts and all that.

an american kj has a different spare tire mount than a euro kj- while american kj's have the spare just hanging on the back, the euro kj has a plastic flap that goes around it and holds the license plate and lights for the plate (it also restricts the spare tire size btw). so- a euro kj, my kj, has 3 lug nuts on the spare: one is the locking nut that american kj's have- and the other two are "long lug nuts" that have an inner thread and a regular thread. the inner thread is used for a bolt that goes into the lug nut and is used to secure the license plate holder (american spec kj's have a bumper held plate-euro kj's have a spare wheel mounted plate)

so anyways- i started to look for the specific lug nut that's used for holding the rear plastic flap-cant find it. There are lots of locking nuts but i need the other kind. because this is not a US type lug nut- i cant find a mopar part number. any ideas?

Yeah in South Africa we have the same setup.

Can you not get an Engineering Firm repair the damage on the nuts or make a new one for you?

Or else you need to visit Breaker yards to try find one.

Try the Parts Fiches here....to some extent they do cover the Export models but these Fiches are painful to go through:

hello- thanx for the advice. we dont have many broken up liberty's- most folks here drive wranglers. I actually did quite a bit of work in cape town- i have seen quite a few liberty's with "mickey mouse" roof lights. I found the screw- it is an "export wheel nut"- 06036303AA.

thanx!
