Strangely, I am missing a lug nut off my 2006 26Ft. RB Born Free. Discount Tires does not have the type on it now. Ford dealer had never seen any like it. So where does one get the right lug nut? It has a flange on the back of it unlike regular lug nuts I have seen. Born Free Kim says they don't carry those.
Also, am missing two of the chrome outside covers that go over the outside lug extensions. Guess I can order those from Born Free, correct?

Linda,
If your Ford dealer does not know how to order the lug nuts for the wheels on your Ford E450 chassis, you need to select a different Ford dealer. I believe those lug nuts are supposed to be torqued to 120 lbs-ft. They will never come off on their own if tightened that tight.
As far as the other missing parts, these is a post in the Technical Library section on this forum titled Replacement parts for Dicor Versa-Liner Wheel Covers. A direct link you can click on is provided below.

The post shows the various parts that you may be missing and links to where you can order replacements. You can also order them from Kim Olson at the Born Free factory (800-247-1835) .

Linda, if you have the time and send me your address I can drop 1 or 2 lug nuts in the mail on Monday. Lug nuts should be torqued to 140 foot pounds.
