Hi,
I would imagine all the main suppliers do them but here's a link for you, these are as cheap as anywhere and the quality will be the same across the board.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Hi Les,

This guy sells them on the bay, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MORRIS-MINOR- ... 27b6caec33

If you have a Moss nearby you can save on the postage. I keep a couple in my spares cupboard for emergencys :D

Looks like a good deal but message the seller to check / confirm the postage beforehand, as you will require 16 to do all four wheels.

Well although i couldn't find any on the esm site, I phoned today and was told they had them, so I've ordered 16. Getting on for a pound each + vat + postage. I thought of including studs as well, then thought the original ones might be better quality, I just hope the nuts have a decent thread in them. Terrible isn't it when you have to worry about what will turn up. One almost expects the worst! I also ordered a rad drain tap. I think that was over 7 quid! All replies appreciated.

You are not wrong to be concerned, the quality of certain replacement parts does sometimes leave something to be desired, as I have found out.
If you do find your replacement parts to be sub-standard then please do take it up with the supplier, as has been pointed out to me, if you don't they won't know there is a problem.
Anyway if your studs are okay why replace them, spend the money on something else you do need for her.
Best wishes,
Mike.
