Alloy locking nut key.

Featured Replies

Panic time . Somehow I've managed to misplace/ loose my locking nut key for the wheels. Any suggestions where to find a replacement would be appreciated. From a check the internal measurement is  is circa 17mm

Hi, was this the type of key that has a special pattern moulded into the bottom of the recess? You can get a replacement IF you know what the letter, that was embossed in the middle of the recess, was - I got a spare from Ebay in case I lost or broke the original key. Without the code letter, it is possible to identify the correct key from certain Ebay vendors - some of them post pictures on their site. Otherwise, you will either need a main dealer who has a full set of coded nut adaptors (to identify and supply the correct one) or you will have resort to 'butchering' the wheel bolts off.

Thanks .i've done a bit of googling on this and there's also an old post on here about it. In the end I found that it's the spline number that matters( or so I hope). I've searched e bay for what I think mine is ( 17 spline) .Should arrive tomorrow, so I'll post if this method works.
