Locking Nuts for Titans.

**marwen** · Tuesday 16th August 2005, 18:13

Hi everybody,
Just a quick one can someone tell me where I can get hold of some locking bolts for my 850. Volvo want 2 quid short of 50.
Halfords do a set of Mcgard locking bolts but dont ever seem to have any in stock.
tried on the net and drawn a blank. thanks alot. Mark.

try salvo mate im sure it will be nice and cheap

avoid the locking nuts that use a metal ribbon on the key, it is to weak & snaps easily leaving you unable to undo them. The one's with the 3 pins on they key work well

I have the ones Pedro mentioned with the 3 pins on my Mini, had them on for 4 years and no problems what so ever. I think theyt're called Tri-Lock or something.

**k690bpp** · Tuesday 16th August 2005, 19:34

ecp ones are trilock

**marwen** · Tuesday 16th August 2005, 19:48

Have checked on the ECP website and put car details in but the results turn up bolts for a 940,960 are these the correct ones did yours say 940,960 or did you have to speak to them. Am getting confused!!!!

**k690bpp** · Tuesday 16th August 2005, 20:56

heres a link to the locks on the ecp website: http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecommerc....asp?Product=1

if that doesn't work the pno's: 936660051 and there £17.95+vat

**pzorb** · Saturday 13th May 2006, 15:23

Those have gone up to £18.95+vat now.
Anyone else recommend TriLock? Other brands?

**t5 stealth** · Saturday 13th May 2006, 16:37

i wouldnt touch tri locks,
a real pain in the ar#e.
the 3 pins fall out after a wile,
they twist or break cos people do them up 2 tight,
they only need to be nipped up,
all the cars i ever do that have tri-locks are always a bad set,
damaged or twisted or pins missing,
makes hard work ,
if people dont do them up so tight they would b ok,as would most of the other types or lock nuts,

That's really helpful m8, cheers. Will stay clear of trilock.

What about these off eBay?

Me and moppy have a set of locking wheel bolts sitting in the garage doing nothing if you are interested?
We were going to put them on ebay but never got round to it.
I'll post up some pics.

Are they any good? They look a little 'budget' and that metal looks malleable... does the key fit well, I'm concerned that it might start to round off those grooves. Do you think the key is unique?
Cheers

We have two sets for sale, one is as pictured below and the other set is still on the car. The ones below are made by Mc guard.

I will post up a picture of the other set later if anyone is interested?

I'm certainly in the market for some. How does your other set compare to these?

**Tomcat** · Monday 15th May 2006, 20:06

I need a set but I'm a bit put off by the Mcguard ones

You and me both; I've spent this weekend looking into alternatives. Had a chat with the eBay seller of the ones I posted above, and even he couldn't recommend them (no disrespect barberecpw) 'cos he said they'd take 2 mins vs 10 to remove compared to McGards. Trilock seem universally poopooed. So it's getting more of the b*ggers I spent last week removing

I'll be putting extra copper grease on from now!

basically...its like this, in referance to the post and responce to my post.

put 2 sets of locking nuts by 2 differant manufacturers.. I dont live in a bad area, as soon as i move, another set is going on, and remember,,its easyer to nick the car than piss about with the lockin nuts.. so if somebody wants your wheels..and youve got good nuts, they will nick the car..otherwise most wont bother... if you`ve got a set of nuts on there, its better than no.

Here is the other set, the locker seems to be a better fit than the other set of locker, basically it has 4 thick prongs that ensures a good fit.

We will be selling both sets if anyone on here is interested?
