Looking on fleabay for replacement locking wheelnuts as I have the OEM. Anything in particular I ought to be looking for ?

Yeah - ones that don't lock.

More hassle than they are worth.... I've just replaced all of mine with the solid ones Geary flogs. You have to make sure they are for an S1, as it has radiused (NOT tapered) seats in the wheel.

For the sake of a few quid, you'd be as well (as I ended up figuring out) buying them off Geary.

If you MUST get locking ones, you are welcome to mine - not exactly pristine, but all present and correct.

My mate got all four wheels nicked from his 10 year old wreck of an escort when it was parked up in his 'secure' underground car park in Glasgow. It was the worst car in there by far but the only one without locking wheel nuts.

The elise wheels onlu fit on the eilse though and even then they are front/rear and model specific. I wouldn't bother with locking nuts as as shug says they are more hassle than they are worth.

Thats what I did, then flog your old nuts on flea-bay for £15 or so like me and you will get most of the money back.....
