There are different pin configurations you know!!

At least 6 different pin layouts that I know of.

You're probably better trying to get the screws/centrecaps that go with the key if possible

Me neither! first time I realised was after about half an hour of trying to get them to fit, two holes fitted ok, the third was about half a hole out...

Some are easy to spot, I have one version where two pins are almost touching, with the third directly opposite

If you are talking locking wheel nuts, and no key, when i got my 24v there were 2 different types on all four wheels with no keys, in the past i managed to get the shielded ones off, with a dremel and a chisel, these were a bit tricky, fortunatalely i managed to whack them with a centre punch,+ heavy hammer,and they all came off, i thought each one was going to be tighter than the last, but it worked, the angle is critical though, and best to protect the wheels. desperate measures i know!

Tony,

have a look at these.... I think they are the same as the Scorpio ones.....worth an email to the guy at least!

I think Renault use the same sort of fixings too

Found them in the shed. 4 bolts with 2 keys. Parcelled them up, and they are on their merry way!
