I just don't belive this - every single trackday that I've been on I've had some kind of problem.
Just checking everthing ok - spare wheels ready - can't find the locking wheel nut !!!!
Can't even remeber the make of it (it's sort of got 4 holes which the nut went into on the bolt, the whole thing is covered by a cup that has a allen key screw on it)
Ok so I've blown it for the track day - how do I sort this out in the future.
Can Tyres Northampton remove them??? I've got the old bolts - is it worth taking my wheels with me tomorrow.
I think I'm going to give up on this at this rate.

I think the ones you mean are made by Carflow, or something like that off the top of my head.
Years ago, I lost the same type of locking bolt. So went along to the local supplier, who gave me a big box of spares to try, and foung the correct fit.
Maybe worth a try

Keep your locking key in the car, out of sight ?!

I lost(well I think it was my dealer) my locking wheel nut, different make to yours and tried a couple of things.
Gator grip socket- no good, called at my local Halfords and bought a couple of sockets just a fraction too small, now listen carefully as this is very technical and delicate, take a BIG hammer and BEAT a socket on to the nut.... take off nut!!!!

Take it to someone with a welder, weld a normal nut onto the locking one and undo with a normal spanner. Did this with my last car when I lost the key, works on rounded nuts too

Easiest way is get one of those sockets made up of spring loaded pins that form to any shape. Designed to remove rounded nuts but...

Your Average car thief should be able to help you remove them....

Or there is the gentle approah get it drilled out had to have it done twice, you would of thought i'd learn first time but no..
