Please Help Me

Ive been missing my baby for over a month now while it was being repaired after some lovely old gent swung his stooopid mobility vehicle across a roundabout into the side of my it!!!!
Anyway all repaired now but I cant pick it up as the wheel nuts that were on the car are next to useless now. Hardened steel studs with what feels like ally nuts!!!
Anyway they cant source any because none of their suppliers supply them.
So.......... my question is, Can I nip down to the breakers and find myself a sierra?
If not where can I get a set quick?
Thanks

The wheel nuts are (should be) 19mm M12x1.5
(that's a 19mm nut with a thread size of M12 x 1.5).

Sierra nuts should fit. I use McGard locking wheel nuts p/n 24157 (from Halfwits) for the same dimensions, which are for the Sierra.

Get a set of nice shiny ones from Shiny Nuts (number etc in Sprint). Bit pricey but look the Dogs. I'm sure Jeremy could get em out next delivery.

Not sure if they are the same, but the ones I had were shiny wheels nuts. They were quite a soft metal, I thought they might be solid ally. I have always been careful with them when I torque them up. But Hilton were telling me they wont get anywhere near the correct torque setting.
Maybe the ones shiny-nuts sell are hardened or made differently. I suppose the intelligent thing to do would be to call them and ask. lol

Will try a breakers so I can get up there quick, then will see if I can get finance on these S/N's S/S W/N's lol

I would buy 12 and get 4 locking nuts from halfwits....

Or you can get cheap chromed ones for £1 each.

[DodgyDave]

You can only buy a set of sixteen, Did think exactly the same thing though. I dont know many TVR's without locking wheel nuts.

It seems now that one of my old nuts was damaged in the incident. The repair shop's suppliers cant supply S nuts so we have to get a entire set from shinynuts courtesy of the other guys insurance! Shame that
