WTA - Wheel Nut Adaptor

[YaZmEeN]

Sorry bro, hakitrade dun have the lock nut..they told me that it'll be usually missing when the scrap car arrive...sorry can't help u

meen, thank for the info and the effort. At least I dont have to make a trip there and be disappointed.

Look like I have to replace all the 4 lock nut if I cannot find the adapter. QD told me it is about RM135 per set..

Problem is how to remove the wheel nut without the adapter and not damaging the wheel... Any good idea???

I got mine for rm120 ithink. The mechanic found that mine was stripped and luckily there's another car in the yard with the same key! I drove around with only 4 bolts for awhile before getting the replacement.

I just called AB Glenmarie.. They also dont know the code.. They advised just drive the car there
and they will bring all the adapter and try it. Good thing is that the price is RM25.. Still got some
hope of a cheap solution..

My in-law get the exhaust shop to weld the nut and managed to turn it out. Then he use the normal nut on all lug. Hakitrade(again) sell the normal nut at RM5 each(maybe), forgotten already when i bought full set last time..

Question: Does we need the lock nut badly? as i think that nowadays there's less risk of ur rim to be stolen, and they put the brick to support ur car. I think so...

Actually the special lock nut is to deter the "normal thief" who have a 17 wrench. However, they do not deter the "specialist".

I have a friend who service his old car (pulsar) and the workshop parked his car outside.
Next morning, all his 4 tyres/rims are gone.

Problem solved. Went to AB Glenmarie (Part & Acc Section).

Safri, the guy from AB came out with a box of all the pattern.. Check and found my code is "14"..

Cheap lar for RM23.. but no stock.. I convince him to sell me his only demo set and he agreed.

Now, this is what I call service from AB.. Thank for the effort.
