Yep - found one yesterday on my front door - good chance it will fit too!

Is there a special key for this? Can't find mine, if there is one, where would it be?

Hi Jason, all good with the car? I'll be down at Pembrey on Saturday for a full Trackday if you fancy a tyrekick. I'll show you how I got my old centre caps off without the key...

Why not drill the end of bolt the right diam and glue in a roll pin. Works for me.

I'll be there around 8-8:30 I think to sign on & do the briefing etc. I think the 1st cars on track around 9:30 - 10 ish. You can come out as a passenger if you like. You'll have to purchase a passenger armband & borrow a helmet if you haven't got one.

Sorry to go on about this, but could someone with 400SE wheels please post a pic of their key, more importantly the business end so I could see how it works?

Regards

I've just changed mine to stainless hex bolts, far less agro!!

I bought a wheel cap key from RT Racing for a previous 400SE I owned for £39.95 if my memory serves me right. They told me they don't always stock it but they were making a batch a few years ago and I managed to get one. It's worth giving them a call though.

I found one of mine before Christmas, may stick it on ebay as seems quite rare

Great, thanks Tony, I'll give them a try.... I'll let you know how it goes

I actually made one... Very easy to do! Cheap ratchet (that the shaft will fit into the recess of the bolt) grind the end off so its flat...then grind away the end so you are left with a stubby that sticks out and goes into the bolt. Worked for me

Thanks Matt, that's why I need to see one, having never actually seen how the cap comes off, in relation to the tool etc once I can visualise how it works, I may be able to work it out

I'll put a PIC up later...my car didn't come with one so I didn't know what it should look like...

I could go into production... Wedgie would NOT like my metalwork skills! Lol!

Surprised to see one come up on eBay now I'll be able to take my wheels off
