    Locking wheel nuts

    Has anyone got a set for sale please? I bought a decent set but as they were curved & not flat backed (apparently), 2x of them have worked there way off & 1x is now missing

    I have stuck some genuine Mitsi ones on from Galant 17's but these will apparently have the same problem unless I do them up extra tight which could damage the alloy. This is not something i've ever been told before but as I now have 2x halfs of different sets, I will need some either way.

    Possibly the only VR4 that was driven by the current owner before being registered..... & it's a UK car

    Hello,

    I've got a spare set. They are from my VR4 and are the flat bottomed ones, genuine mitsubishi parts too.

    I've got some, am breaking my Leggie and everything must go
    Will take them off in a bit and let you know what condition theyre in.
    Will hang on to them until you find out if you need them.
    Cheers

    That would be great if you don't mind. I will let you know once they are officially lost or if they do appear. Sorry to hear about your car BTW. Guessing you can't be bothered to fit a new lump?

    Just took them off,they all have a little bit of rust on, one more so than the others, but if you need them youre more than welcome to them,no charge just postage, just give me a shout when you know!!
    thought about getting a new lump put in but after buying it, getting it fitted, new cam belt kit, water pump, all fluids etc decided that for another couple hundred quid could get another one already running!!
    Cheers

    Hi Ian,
    Just a heads up that the ones Paul sent have finally turned up. No explanation as to where they had been, just a very confused posty. Thanks for the offer but I can confirm that I will not need yours

    Cheers
