hub cap locking key
I have lost the keys for my hub caps (actually I think some kids stole them I as stupidly left them in the car door pockets in full view).

Any idea where I can get replacements... looked on the web and cant see anything. Are these std fitting and does anything else do the job off say
another make? I measured the thread OD and it is just over 7.5mm -which does not sound like anything "normal" to me?

They're also used on renaults and vauxhalls and normally are 8mm thread. An 8mm pan or cheese head torx bolt is a good replacement if you
don't want to replace with security bolts.
Here's some new vauxhall ones:

The vaux/renault ones are universal and have 3 evenly spaced studs so arent really secure. U use long nose pliers on my old Clios ones!
IMHO - Get new wheels, centre cap covers are so 90s! lol

agree they are very 90's but they suit the car (a Ginetta) which is very 90's :-)..
I can get them un-done with a couple of small screw drivers and pliers but want something more practical for day to day use - the wheels come off
quite often!
I will have a look at the vaux / renault ones.. I might need a longer thread. otherwise will try some st steel m/c screws...
Thanks
