I just realised on the 400SX has these wheel centre type things, so I hunted in the boot for the tool and luckily it was in the jack bag.

However I don't like the idea of not having a spare - are these tools still available?

If not I'll make my own as suggested on another thread.

Hmm. Two of mine have been replaced by a more common fixing. Wonder if you can get the original screw/bolts?

I'm sure you can - and I'll be keeping a close eye on mine at BBWF ;^)

If there is interest I'll make a few tools up and bring them along, I think a pint is not too extortionate (although I have heard tell of EC bar prices...)

Unfortunately I mislaid mine when the retrim was done, which was only noticed when I tried to get some new tyres - you should also be aware that not all the key holes are the same size as I discovered when I borrowed another wedgers tool - how many variants is anyones guess but I doubt that many.

Here is something to think about - my old Vauxhall had similar centre caps with the locking screws, took it to tyre place for new rubber, I offered to get the tool out of the car for the fitter "don't worry about that mate" was the reply and in a jif they were off.

Suprisingly easy - If you want to now how, ask me at BBWF (but if you can't wait email me)

Of course please dont rely on the caps as an anti-theft device for the rare wedge wheels, fit locking nuts
Cheers
