Hi,

After recently having my Mini broken into whilst in the mechanics yard I've got all security conscious and have looked at the spiders on the Cerb withought any locking nuts on them so I ordered :

TVR CERBERA EVO 5 LOCKING WHEEL NUTS THATCHAM APPROVED BOLT THREAD M12X1.5

from Amazon, good stuff,all nice quality and heavy duty but they won't go on, they just spin in the hole - by comparing with the existing nuts I think the thread inside the locking ones start too far inside.#

Can anyone recommend anything different that they know fits?

Cheers

Joe

The reason they won't go on is because the Cerbera studs don't have a metric thread, they are 1/2 inch UNF. As Tyresmoke says, Chrysler Voyager or Jeep Cherokee nuts will fit.
