Urgent! Estoril centre cap retainer screws needed!
Discussion
Hi guys -
Wonder if you could help me quickly - my Chimaera has Estorils for which the previous owner changed the retaining screw (on each one) for an allen key version rather than the TVR "special key" versions...
The screws had seized on the 2 of the wheels - resulting in the rounding of the allen key holes upon eventual removal, so now I need replacements... (probably 4 best, in case the other 2 have been over-tightened too).
The garage has tried TVR Power and Clever Trevor, but no luck so I was wondering whether you guys could tell me where I can get replacements quickly..?
Ideally I want allen key versions rather than TVR "special key" versions - although obviously if there is no choice then I will go with whatever is available (the previous owner swapped them tho', so surely some must be available somewhere?).
Can anyone help..?
Many thanks,
Dom

Answering my own question here - have rung around and found that Leven Technology are now the suppliers for these...
Not cheap (consideing what they are) - but I guess they are a low-volume product, and good to have the proper part.
Hope this might help someone else in a similar situation to myself...

If its a standard allen key then it's much easier to nick the centres
Accepted , but how many people wander around with an allen key in their pocket intent on stealing a set of wheel centres that fit nothing but a relative handful of TVRs 
Guess if car is not garaged at night or used as daily drive it would be a concern.
£2 for ten (minimum invoice) local supplier.........
