Where's the locking wheel nut in elise?

[deltashad]

Sorry! I've posted this here and not on the lotus forum as I'm needing to find my locking wheel nut ASAP.

Can someone please help, my mechanic can't find it. My phone was reset so don't have the previous owners contact details.

Mods, please can you leave this here in gg until the morning?

You'll very likely find one on each of your wheels.

Can't help with the location of the adaptor though...

Mine has a little black fabric wallet thing Velcro'd onto the boot carpet which contains the "tool kit" such as it is.

In the fitters toolbox at your local National tyres?

Think its more than likely here. Looked everywhere and its just not there!


Need them off asap, I've contacted Lotus and in the process of ordering a new ADAPTER, in the meantime, any ideas???

When you do get this sorted, just buy standard nuts, I went through the same and realised locking wheel nuts are more trouble than they're worth (depending where you live and where the car is kept, of course..)

I cant remember the last time I heard of someone's alloys being stolen. If fact, I cant remember ever hearing of it.

Every car has alloys as standard, steel wheels are optional extras nowadays.

Do we really need them?


Nuts are off (welding involved). Locking ones replaced with standard ones
