Can I borrow a locking wheel nut key please?

I've lost my locking wheel nut key

I assume when I swapped the spare off a few weeks ago I left it in the wheel and it's now in a gutter somewhere!

If someone has one to sell or to borrow while I remove them and replace with normal bolts that would be great. The key has external splines, I think they're normally a number 12 key?

Many thanks

I think that they are all different and you need a number, not sure. I threw mine away as they are more trouble than they are worth.

Not QUITE. Either number 11 or 12, so you've got a 50/50 chance of it being right!
... or the fancy V8-only ones shaped like a buttercup which are all different, I understand.

Fingers crossed it's the right one then and not the other! Many thanks Amsca2!
