jevansio Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Tried Revolution in Newcastle, I take it you're after locking nuts that don;t require a big head over them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Tried Revolution in Newcastle, I take it you're after locking nuts that don;t require a big head over them? No, the plain spline drive nuts (16 off) in addition to the lockers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Chris, e-mailed them yesterday (Germany) and got a reply today, they have attached a PDF of all the available types and will sell them direct with credit card payment Got to be cheaper and also no import duty as there would be from the states.

Paul Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Got this PDF from Mcgard showing the types of spline drive they do. I'm guessing that the 60 degree seat will be OK for Blitz 03's, what about the length though as they show a longer one?Spline Drive_Article092.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Got them to give me a price on a set of spline drive with blue caps (20 off) and also the chrome version. They are coming in at about £150 delivered !!! For a set of wheel nuts? Are they having a laugh, or am I just out of touch with prices ? I was expecting about half that.

Sounds good mate, PM details/prices if you like, no way I'm paying that sort of cash but want decent quality that aren't going to round off.
