Lug wrench / bumper jack handle

[Sebastian]

Hi guys,

unfortunatelly my car is missing the lug wrench in the trunk.
I try to get a correct one here in Germany but the selection is not great.
Can someone please tell me the dimensions for the correct wrench fitting in my 70s Chall.?
On the other hand i am offered a wrench from maybe a b-body(?) and iam wondering if it could fit.

It measures about 15" on 8"

I believe the one in your pic will not fit in the lug wrench mounting position. It is similar to what you want.
The bend is not sharp enough and the distance to the lug nut part is too long.
My one only has about 120mm from the bend to the lug nut and the bend is 90 degrees.
The standard lug nut size is 3/4 inch.
Have you tried an ad in the wanted section?

Hey Steve,

thanks for the information!

I have not tried an ad here because i think the shipping overseas could be expensive for that relatively bulky item.

I know what you mean shipping would probably be more than the cost of the part.

Thats exactly what i mean Steve.
For other parts okay...but for a lug wrench? ....
So i try to get something here in Ger.

You could cut and weld the wrench you have, no one would know. A bit of work and it would be there.
I only have mine in the trunk for show, I do not use it.
