Default wheel bolt key

Are wheel bolt keys still avaiable? And how do you specify which key you need? Is there some sort of list, defining what key is need for a given chassis number?

Depends on the car, I understand Xpart can supply a key from your chassis no. if they are MGR bolts, but if they are Mcgard bolts you will need to get it direct from them, They want a good photo of your wheel bolt head, a photo of your log book and driving license and about 18 euros

Looking at your profile it's a 2003 car, I would say this is fitted with the internal spline type, fitted to earlier cars..

A number 12 bolt should fit this, perhaps a member in your area could offer assistance.

You're right, Pab. It is a 2003 with an internal spline. Are you saying that it's just a standard 12-point socket, and that they are all the same?

Thanks, All.

I'm going to get rid of the lock-bolts and fit standard bolts.

I used the lock key at the weekend, and it's possible I might have left it in one of the bolts and it fell out when I drove off. But whatever, - it wasn't in it's holder when I went to get it again, so I ended up welding an old Peugeot wheel bolt to the head of the lock bolt, and removing it that way.

centscotsman, - I work in Falikirk, so could pick up the key somtime if that's OK.
