Locking nut cover

[Tony]

I noticed this week that we've lost one of the metal covers that go over the lock nuts on our MGF. They are the metal ones with the indentation of a key slot on them.

Does anyone have a spare they would be willing to part with? I can only find a set of 4 shabby looking used ones on ebay and they want silly money for them.

Hi Tony,

I have a spare one tucked away in the garage, I'll bring it to the next meet as unfortunately I cant come out this Sunday as its my boys Birthday party (even though their birthday was nearly 2 weeks ago!).

Thanks Nick.

Any tips on how to prevent them falling off again?

swap them for some mcguard locking nuts, thats why I have a spare cover

As long as you caps are in good condition then they should be a tight fit and got easily come off, if they are a little loose then one tip is to give them a gentle squeeze with pliers at the base to oval them this will help clamp them onto the nuts without making the top faces looks tatty.

Or like like said go for mcguard, which is what I have down on all of mine as the caps are very annoying to remove and refit when ever you want the wheel off

Nick, can you give to Dawn tonight please... That's the locking nut cap before anyone get's the wrong idea.

I'm always happy to help, then disappointingly I read the second half of your message !
Yup I just dig it out from the garage so will being that and the spare wheel nut Ed was after too.
