Afternoon all,

I'm missing a locking wheel nut cap/cover - does anyone have a spare?

Cheers,

Oliver

In the long run you'd be better off ditching the O/E lockers and fitting some decent ones.

Why'd you say that? Are they easy to break/greater chance of theft etc?

The keys break, the locking nuts round off and they can easily be removed with a standard 1/2 socket set and a hammer.

McGard were used on late MGs and don't have any of the above problems.
