Here's a better view of the one that can go away. When oriented this way, there are protrusions at 6 and 12. Then ones at approximately 1, 3:30, 7:30 and 9:30. There is no obvious identifying mark or number on it. If you need one like this, it's yours for the cost of shipping. Be patient if you reply, I don't visit here very often. I spend my time at a place that, not only tolerates but, encourages free speech.

Thanks Scott

Mine had indents evenly spaced at 2,4,6,8,10 and 12. I saw lots that were similar to yours and none that were similar to mine.

So a few hours with the drill and some metal 'unfriendly' drill bits and I got the nut removed. Second time I have had to do this - last time was on a Mercedes SL that had a poor design for lug bolts.

Got all the lockers off and now will get something more friendly.

Cheers and thanks again for the offer.

PS - if someone needs 3 locking wheel bolts I have some to give away.
