Locking Wheel Nuts

[larryb]

Has anybody purchased a set of locking wheel nuts recently for a V8S? I was at Halfords earlier today and was unable to work out which were the correct ones ?

Should I be looking for the ones that fit a Ford Sierra?

Does anybody know the correct code/ref?

Bought a couple of sets over the years, just take one of the existing ones in and match the threat, seat dimensions etc.

McGard Locking Wheel Nuts (from Halfords)
Fits Sierra - Part Number 24157 (19mm / M12x1.5)
Cost £30 in Feb '04

N.B. These should fit most S series, but I have seen cars with different (changed?) wheel studs.

Take care with the thread length within the locking nut. I discovered the Ford locking nuts on the back of my S2 were bottomed out on the end of the stud - not on the wheel.
I changed them for Maystar part no. SWN01 (which are nice and shiny - shame the other nuts aren't!)

I agree with Roy, I have fitted a set of these recently and they seem to fit OK, also the drive arrangement is far more positive than the castellated lug type which get rounded off and spread.
