Or you could just take the starndard ones down to your local machine shop and
get the thread extended a couple of inches and buy 4 12*1.25 (i think) nuts.
Shouldn't cost to much,around $50 all up.From memory the LJ torana castor rods
also have slightly different bolt hole sizes and should be clamped in position
and holes enlarged with a reemer and fitted bolts used.I think the thread may
also need extending depending how much caster is required.Most people dont worry
about using larger fitted bolts.
