No lol.
In all fairness Rob my engineer had a single set on his van.
I have ordered a twin set, direct from WSL
The vans home base was coastal, before we owned it.

Sent photo to yorkshire coast caravans in Bridlington.
There reply.
From reviewing your photos with our technicians, it is our belief the the rust seen on your wheel bolts are superficial and will nut have any effect on the integrity. Our advise would be to removal the wheel bolts and clean them with a wire brush to check this. Once this is complete a light spray with a lubricant will reduce the visual effect.
Dont think i would trust their service engineers with my van with an answer like that.

WSL stated they should not have gone like that, but warranty is only 3 years.



[:nice:

Their website states


"Corrosion resistance to 840 hours salt spray"

Why don't you point this out to them and suggest that they are misleading customers with this statement.

What I find amazing is that this product has to exist at all. I dont know anybody who would consider it and/or has actually changed the OE wheelbolts on a car for an aftermarket product.
The fact that we are perpetually told to re torque our wheel bolts in case they come loose is a very poor show on behalf of the caravan chassis manufacturers that really should be sorted.
From your post they appear to be poorly made aftermarket products sold on the basis of safety. If the mating face corrodes to this extent then they surley can not be an advantage over the OE supplied bolts that rust as well but at a slower rate.
