I need Oettinger lug bolts before the weekend!
Anything I can use temporarily?
I know the 14X1.5 Ball Seat 34.5mm is what I'm supposed to use, but I can't find anyone in America that stocks them...
Any ideas? How specific do I need to be on shank length? Does it HAVE to be ball seat, or will cone work temporarily? I appreciate the help..

Shank length can vary a bit...
You want the bolt to turn 5 full turns before it's tight. Any less, and it's too short. As far as what's too long...well, if it binds to the hub, it's too long.
As far at the seat...get one that matches. You can damage the wheel by using the wrong seat.

Temporarily, yes.
You can use a 32-34mm 14x1.5 R13 ball seat.
You need an R12 ball seat for a proper fitment.
It's a very unique bolt.
I'm looking into getting some. I'll get back with you.
