Alloy Wheels & Various Trim Parts

[Gary406]

waue can you post me a pic of the locking wheel bolts with 2 keys ?

i need a new set for mine.

are they for flat type wheels ?

[waue1978]

Unfortunately the locking bolts are the taper type Gaz.

[Gary406]

they look flat type to me ?

they look identical to mine

[waue1978]

Here's the 2 different sets of bolts, so you can double check which ones you have. Would've thought you'd have the flat ones as it seems to go that the older wheel designs take the flat with the later ones using the tapered.

Tapered:








Flat Seat:

Also come with 2 mysterious circular pieces of yellow plastic which were stuck inside 2 of the caps.

There is a funny yellow plastic contraption that sits on top of the locking wheel nuts - you then place the plastic nut covers over them. It sounds like yours may have broken up.

Talking of which, I need 4 plastic caps (and 2 yellow contraptions), so if you're willing to split them, can you let me know how much you want for them ?.

All in good condition. Tried the keys on all the bolts to make sure they were the right ones & they all gripped nice & tight.

How does £10 all in sound?

The yellow thing isn't part of the locking wheel bolts - at least not the ones I have anyway - it just doesn't fit into them at all. All these bolts are what I've acquired from the various sets of wheels bought. None of them ever got fitted to my car. Not really looked into splitting them as thy wouldn't be worth that much anyway, but if you want to take the lot, make an offer. Shouldn't cost me too much to post as they weigh bugger all.

I've just been outside trying to take some pics of the yellow thingies, but my camera batteries are dead

They are a plastic disc, with castlated pieces on the underside (probably like the trim screw covers you were looking for). If you can imagine Stonehenge with a giant yellow disc on top, thats what they should look like (but in miniature). They sit on top of the locking wheel nut, and presumably pack the gap between the locking wheel nut and the plastic nut covers. My car is a 2002 Rapier with what I think are called Nimrod wheels (9 spokes)

Getting back to the plastic nut covers....... if a tenner buys a set of lock bolts and 2 keys all in.......... would you be happy with a fiver all in for the plastic nut covers ?.

If so, PM me your paypal address and I'll zap the funds over, if you don't have paypal send me your postal address and I'll stck a cheque in the post.

PM sent & locking bolts with 2 keys provisionally sold.

Here are the wheels that came off of my car. As with the other set at the start of this topic, I am open to offers, but if no interest is shown, they will be on Ebay within the next few days. They aren't in great condition, but they are straight (or should I say circular) & don't look too bad when fitted. Obviously if you're as fussy as me you'd want them refurbed & honestly you'd be better off paying the money to get a rough set refurbed as I've yet to see a decent set of these. The very best I've seen look good on the face, but have corrosion on the edges of the spokes.

Following a couple of successful Ebay listings I'm now down to:

Door cards (minus the wood trims)

Dash pieces - glovebox, housing & the drivers side end piece, also minus wood

Headlight adjuster switch

2 bare Hoggar alloy wheels

& the chrome caps for the wheel bolts.

All open to offers.

Quick update:

Set of locking nuts with 2 keys has now gone on Ebay - sorry Gary, but I can only leave them so long.

Have also found another set of the taper bolts (12) with a set of locking nuts (4) & key - will be going on Ebay when the other set has finished on there.

Door cards & grey dash trims will be going to the dump at the weekend.

Waue,
have the rear door cards still got the handles on them ?
iwill buy them off you was going to ask before but thought you might not be wanting to split them from the cards

the plastic coating on mine are pealing off,
mine is the no - elec window type,

thanks inadvance,

[waue1978]

These had electric windows all round. The cards still have the handles, but I wouldn't know how to take them off. Had considered doing the handle swap myself as my "new" ones are a bit sh*te, but the old ones are mint. If you want them though, they're still here at the moment.
