Locking wheel nuts

Post by ExigeKen » Mon Apr 28, 2008 8:52 pm

I seem to have lost the cap for my locking wheel nuts on my S2 Exige does anyone know if they are unique or will the cap from other S2 Exiges or Elises fit (thinking there may be just a few variations maybe).

failing that I have Dave's magic spanner set which will strip them off. :evil:

I suspect they will be "fairly"unique!

No they cant fit the rear wishbone without getting the wheel off so I will take Dave's device over tomorrow - thanks everyone for offering the caps.
