Anyone know where I can get some, I know Mr Baxter sells locking wheel nuts but what about the bolts for the front?

plymat,
You can replace the front bolts by thread-in studs, and then use 8 standard and 2 locking wheel nuts.
Simon probably has them, or will tell you where to get some.

I found that the torque recommended for the wheel nuts was more than my lockers could take. The little pegs tended to shear, or the key slipped.

Rather than risk having a flat and not being able to get the nuts off to change the wheel, I binned mine, and went back to standard nuts.
