Locking Wheel Nuts for 4.5 Cerby?

[agholding]

Hi, as a new Cerbera owner, I was surprised that the wheels did not have locking wheel nuts (parked on street).
I've just been to try to get some, but after about half an hour trying various different ones, the guy in the shop gave up and asked me to get the thread and bolt size.
Any advice, as the manual does not have this info?
thanks

Andy

I tried to get locking nuts for my 4.2 cerbie , TVR told me you cannot get them , as the wheels donot fit any other cars!!.Note for chimp and griffith owners yours fit most big fords!!.

It's irrelevant if the wheels fit other cars, what is relevant is that the thread of the locking nut matches the stud? R...

I think what mark h means is that they're not common, being fitted only to the Cerbera, so there's no aftermarket locking nuts ...

TVR owner one day soon

Nope, still don't get it - there are only a few thread patterns American Fine, British Standard, etc. and the stud diameter will be either imperial or metric. It MUST be possible to find a locking wheel nut that will mate to a Cerbera's stud diamtere and thread. Rich...

I was told by my dealer (Walldonway) that Chrysler wheel nuts fit. I'll be buying a set soon (possibly over the weekend), so will let you all know if they fit......

Did the chrysler ones fit? Advice?

Didn't have a chance to buy any.... Spent 2 very cold hours on Saturday replacing the throttle cable (which was well worth the effort - the car has been transformed).

I will try & pick some up this week (or at least go & test one @ a dealer).....
