Locking Wheel nuts AGAIN

[SimonGTT]

Tried to take off my wheels the other night and noticed the locking wheel nut adapter thingy was a bit knackered! Its the type that have 4 sh!tty little pins and they are bent and dont look like they will take trying to take the wheels off. Can i buy a replacement?? if so where from?

Id replace all the lockers with some decent ones like Paddy Hopkirk, cos it will only happen again.



Mat.

 

[SimonGTT]

Yeah well thats the lan, but i didnt want to have to have them drilled off if i can help it

 

[Matbrown]

Rite.

Mat.
