    Cosmic Locking Wheel Nuts

    Someone at Stoneleigh mentioned having trouble finding locking wheel nuts to fit a Roadster.
    These are some older style locks which should fit...on eBay here.

    Renault Espace 54mm front calipers, vented discs, cycle wings and adjustable tie-bars.

          If you look at the text on the back of the packing for the locking wheel nuts a just bought it says 'for steel wheels only and the following manufacturers ally wheels only. Cosmic, 100+, Ally-Cat, K.N'. I think that's pointing to the fact that these alloys use steel inserts in the holes (my Ally-Cat's do) so you'll need either the acorn style or the flat base with conical washer that sits in the bevelled insert.

          I have a set of the acorn style from BG Motorsport (www.bpgmotorsport.co.uk) and have those fitted. That's a like for like replacement for me, they are good nuts.

          And then I am waiting for a set of four of the flat base style with accompanying washer so I can test these as well. These are from Maurice at http://www.mistertee.co.uk.

          #SN28-3/8" unf, Revolution 9/16" bore sleeve wheel nuts & washers.
          #SW30-Cone washers, 14mm bore, flat to 60° taper seat.

          I'll writer up my findings when I have both sets trial fitted and you're welcome to pop over one evening next week and take a look.
