"Robin egg blue" is probably Iris Blue. Very popular on early MGBs.

I tried stainless wheel nuts some years ago but I found that they were prone to seize on the thread due to some reaction between the steel stud and the stainless nut, I believe its called galling. I had a terrible job getting one off at one time so I binned them. And yes, I had oiled the threads.

I'm only 5' 8" with short legs and a longer back and I have enough headroom in the GT. But when I took it on a local circuit and had to wear a helmet, I was forced to bend my neck to get under the roof. So I understand where you are coming from. How tall are you, and is your height in your back...
