I want some long(ish) gold nipples to build my Arayas up. I bought some from Custom Riders but they are a bit yellowy rather than gold. The ones from Alans are only short (12mm)

Does anyone know where I could get some or has anyone got any thoughts on whether the 12 mm ones look ok, they just look to me that you wont see much of the colour or am I wrong ?

Cheers

These turned up eventually from Winstanley's

They're 16mm in total (the head is 3mm), but they look a kind of orangy-gold $:-\$

Yes mine are orangy as well not yellowy

I would defo use them though, the difference in shade shouldn't matter too much when built into a wheel $:-\$
