Locking wheel nuts that can stand a rattle-gun

Yeah, to be honest unless you have massive (expensive) tyres on a truck/car, or some very specialist show-car type wheels, nowadays locking wheel nuts are just a pain.

I don't remember the last time I saw a car up on bricks, it has been that long ago.

I ditched them on my L322, and never gave it a thought! Even after I had the wheels refurbed... Since just about every car leaves the factory with alloys the slightly hot second hand market has gone rather cold!

ive ditched them on all my cars. predomanantly because id change a wheel and forget to take the loking key off the wheel. you can guess how that ended. after losing the key id remove the locking nuts and jut refit standard ones. its just easier.

I've been locked in the shed :huh:

But I did manage to use the time wisely!

I had some 24.something ally bar (15/16") and thought I'd have a play!

I'm seeing a pal at the beginning of the week who has a P38 guinea pig... So I'll report back.. And when my Pink Pong drill bit eventually gets here I'll be having another go in RRC, D1, Defender size!
