Go to your local dealer, he'll have loads of odd ones where they've been removed to fit locking ones.

Local dealer... £1.50 for alloy wheel ones. Probably even cheaper for steelies.

Breaker / dimantler will prob give you some just to get rid of you. I heard a guy in a breakers some time ago asking for secondhand brake pads. Taking the Locost route a step too far methinks!

Escort, Cortina, Sierra, Mondeo etc all the same thread, M12x1.5 I believe.

early fords used a 7/16" UNF thread not the M12x1.5 the later cars used

the changeover was mid 70's so some escorts and cortinas will have UNF thread
